Hot on the heels of The Magical Music of Harry Potter concert, the Salle Pleyel changes cinematic universe to present The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and The Rings of Power in concert. On February 8, 2025, the famous Paris venue will host a memorable evening dedicated to the musical universe of J.R.R. Tolkien. The author's works will take center stage in a unique concert that promises to transport audiences to Middle-earth. The voice of the legendary Sir Christopher Lee, the unforgettable Saruman, will resonate in harmony with the Shire's orchestra and choir, creating an unparalleled immersive experience.
This concert will explore the musical richness of Tolkien's universe, from the dark threats of Mordor to the strident attacks of the Black Riders, not forgetting the magnificent lyrical melodies of the Elves. Every note played will be an invitation to travel through the vast landscapes and deep emotions that punctuate the epic tales of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and the Rings of Power series.
The event is distinguished by its unique approach: there will be no cine-concert here, and the images from the films will not be projected. This artistic decision allows us to concentrate fully on the music, offering a pure and profound aural experience that celebrates the narrative power of the compositions associated with Tolkien's work.
Aimed at fans of Tolkien's universe, film music enthusiasts and all those moved by music's ability to evoke fantastic worlds, this concert is a rare occasion. The presence of Sir Christopher Lee 's voice adds an emotional and historical dimension, paying tribute to his iconic role in the film adaptation of the work.
While the show is aimed primarily at fans of the Tolkien sagas and music lovers who appreciate epic compositions, it may not be suitable for those seeking a visual cinematic experience or who are unfamiliar with English, the language in which the show will be presented without surtitles.
