Dragons in cine-concert: An immersive experience at the Palais des Congrès

On Friday November 14, 2025, Paris will vibrate to the sound of dragons thanks to a unique screening of the cult animated film Dragons, accompanied live by the musicians of the Yellow Socks Orchestra. A spectacular event not to be missed at the Palais des Congrès, where cinema and music merge for an unforgettable evening.

Audiences will be treated to an exceptional screening in VOSTFR of Dragons, DreamWorks Studios' 2010 masterpiece. This film, which tells the touching story of Hiccup and his unlikely friendship with Toothless, a feared dragon, unfolds in a rich universe of epic adventure and poignant emotion.

What makes this event unique is the live performance by the 80 musicians of the Yellow Socks Orchestra. Under the expert direction of their conductor, they perform John Powell's masterful soundtrack, nominated for an Oscar® for its essential contribution to the film. Every note, every crescendo and every musical theme harmonizes with the images projected on a giant screen, creating total immersion.

Dragons, beyond its captivating plot and endearing characters, offers a profound reflection on courage, tolerance and the acceptance of differences. These messages resonate all the more when the power of the orchestra amplifies the emotions conveyed by the images.
