Willoughby Symphony Orchestra: An Evening with James Bond

Overview

There's no spy quite as recognisable as Bond, James Bond. After the novels by Ian Fleming shook and stirred readers worldwide, 26 feature films have captured that same feeling for moviegoers over 60 years on screen. Nowadays, it's hard to find someone who doesn't recognise that iconic introductory line, drink order or pistol-packing pose.

If you are a devotee of all things Bond, you'll want to spend the first weekend of February with the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra and its first show of 2024: An Evening with James Bond.

Music is among the most striking qualities of the Bond films and the spy's on-screen appearances, and finally you have the chance to hear all your favourite moments from the score performed live when, after selling out shows in Europe, An Evening with James Bond comes to Sydney. The performances will take place at the Chatswood Concourse on Saturday, February 3 and Sunday, February 4.

Expect orchestral covers of some of Bond's most memorable tunes — from the powerful vocals of Shirley Bassey in the late 60s and early 70s for Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever and Moonraker to the chart-topping Skyfall by Adele and the melancholic sounds of Billie Eilish in 2021's No Time to Die. Don't hesitate as tickets are likely to sell out. M is telling you to take the bloody shot!

An Evening with James Bond is taking place in the Concert Hall at Chatswood Concourse on Saturday, February 3 and Sunday, February 4, 2024. For more information or to get your tickets, visit the website.
