Bath Symphony Orchestra: Hollywood Nights

Everyone knows the iconic ‘Sunrise’ opening of Richard Strauss’s tone poem Also Sprach Zarathustra, used in Stanley Kubrick’s ground-breaking film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now hear our vast orchestral forces bring the rest of this epic work to life. Based on a philosophical novel by Nietzsche, it deals with the forces of Nature, mankind’s struggle to control his destiny and triumph over the challenges of existence.

In the rest of the programme, we bring you much loved blockbuster film themes from Lord of the Rings, Gladiator, Jurassic Park and many other Hollywood favourites.
