The Godfather Live in Concert
One of the greatest films ever made with a live orchestral score.
Overview
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is making an offer you can't refuse. For two nights only, renowned conductor Shih-Hung Young will lead the MSO in a rendition of the gorgeous score from The Godfather, as part of a live concert screening at Hamer Hall. If you've never seen the film, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. If you already have, then you won't need convincing that it's worth doing so again.
Widely heralded as one of the greatest films ever made, Francis Ford Coppola's crime epic follows the reluctant rise of Michael (Al Pacino) up the ranks of the notorious Corleone crime family. Full of countless iconic lines and award-worthy performances, the film is also remembered for Nino Rota's haunting orchestral score: a melancholy waltz tinged with an elegant darkness that lingers long after the movie comes to an end.
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
