Planet Earth II Live in Concert
David Attenborough's doco will be narrated live by Eric Bana and accompanied by a live orchestral score composed by Hans Zimmer.
Overview
Whether you're a big nature nerd or err on the indifferent side to the science of it all, chances are you've seen at least some of Sir David Attenborough's Planet Earth. The BBC nature documentary series — narrated by the man himself and accompanied by an epic score from Hans Zimmer — first aired back in 2006, and its follow-up second season, Planet Earth II, was released just two years ago. But the bits you've seen on TV or YouTube are sure to be belittled when the live show comes to Australia this April.
Like the performances of Harry Potter and Star Wars we've seen in recent months, Planet Earth II Live in Concert will see the documentary screened in all its glory accompanied by a live orchestra. And it's a big sore. The music has been composed by none other than Hans Zimmer (responsible for epics like The Lion King, Gladiator, The Dark Knight Rises and Inception) alongside Jacob Shea and Jasha Klebe. In Melbourne, the score will be performed by the Melbourne Pops Orchestra at the Convention Centre with conductor Vanessa Scammell and, in lieu of Attenborough, Eric Bana will be narrating in real time.
