A treat for the eyes as well as the ears

The event will showcase music from the worldwide franchise. The music programme has been released on the auditorium’s website, and includes many of the best known songs, from Paul McCartneys ‘Live and Let Die’ to Sam Smith’s ‘The Writing’s on the Wall’. But it is not just about the music. As was the case with the Star Wars symphony, D.M. Wood will present a complementary light show, creating a full sensory experience.
