May the Fourth be with you! The Royal Albert Hall has announced its first-ever Star Wars in-concert Weekender with two screenings of each film from the original trilogy taking place over four days - Thursday 29th April to Sunday 2nd May 2027 - to celebrate the franchise’s 50th anniversary.
The screenings of Star Wars: A New Hope, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in Concert will be accompanied by the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO), who famously recorded the original movie soundtracks with composer and conductor John Williams.
Sarah Quinn, LSO Chair and Sub-Principal Second Violin, said:
"From that triumphant opening chord on the first recording session for A New Hope in Anvil Studios, the Star Wars ‘sound’ has become synonymous with the London Symphony Orchestra, which carries the DNA of John Williams’s music in its blood. What better way to celebrate this anniversary than reliving the original trilogy in full, and we look forward to sharing these momentous performances at the Royal Albert Hall."
