China Film Symphony Orchestra presents BBC Earth: Planet Earth III in concert – breathtaking 4K footage from David Attenborough’s nature series on the big screen, with Hans Zimmer’s score played live.
Entry with a paper ticket only.
Planet Earth III, the BBC’s 2023 series narrated by Sir David Attenborough, was filmed in 43 countries on six continents – from the deep ocean beneath the Antarctic ice to the Sahara and the rainforest canopy. Its score is by Hans Zimmer, a two-time Academy Award winner, with Jacob Shea and Sara Barone.
On stage, more than 60 musicians of the China Film Symphony Orchestra – founded in 1949 and one of the first national orchestras of the People’s Republic – play the music live under conductor Xiao Chao. Guest host Huang Ying, a theatre director who teaches at the Beijing Film Academy, presents a Chinese adaptation of Attenborough’s narration.
