Film Music Week: Calling all movie music buffs! The Dubai Opera is kicking off its exciting Film Music Week with a special tribute concert to the legendary composer Ennio Morricone. This unmissable event, taking place on May 9th and 10th, will be conducted by none other than Andrea Morricone, the maestro’s son.
Film Music Week: A Legacy in Music
Ennio Morricone’s music needs no introduction. Scores from iconic films like “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “Once Upon a Time in the West,” and “Cinema Paradiso” have become ingrained in our collective memory, forever linked to the moving images they soundtracked.
This special concert, titled “Ennio Morricone – The Official Concert Celebration,” promises to be a thrilling journey through the composer’s illustrious career. Under the baton of Andrea Morricone, the Armenian Symphony Orchestra and Dubai Festival Chorus will bring these unforgettable scores to life on the stage of the magnificent Dubai Opera.
Andrea Morricone: Carrying the Torch
Andrea Morricone himself is no stranger to the world of music composition. While perhaps best known for his collaborative work with his father on the “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” soundtrack that earned them a BAFTA Award, he has also created over 30 soundtracks for film, television, and theater.
His collaborations extend beyond the world of cinema, having worked with renowned artists like Sting, Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban, and Yo-Yo Ma. This concert presents a unique opportunity to witness Andrea Morricone lead a powerful orchestra and chorus in a celebration of his father’s timeless musical legacy.
