To mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Giacomo Puccini, one of the greatest ever opera composers, the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra conducted by Matthew Kofi Waldren presents a special Friday Night Is Music Night concert in which the opera goes to the movies, and movie music comes to life. Tonight, these two worlds collide and make beautiful music. The orchestra is joined by dazzling British opera singers Anna Patalong and Charne Rochford as well as West End sensation Tyrone Huntley, It performs epic movie themes from The Sea Hawk to Star Wars, arias from Tosca, Madam Butterfly, La Boheme and Turandot as well showtunes from Les Miserables and South Pacific in a musical toast to opera鈥檚 greatest showman, the man who created blockbusters before the silver screen was even invented.
