Celebrate Jurassic Park 30th birthday with live music event

In celebration of the triple Oscar-winning Jurassic Park’s 30th anniversary, AEG Artistic Presents is touring Jurassic Park In Concert including a date in Yorkshire. Giving audiences the chance to see the sci-fi classic like never before, the 1993 Stephen Spielberg hit will be shown in HD on a big screen. It will be accompanied by the Hallé Orchestra, one of the UK’s top symphonic ensembles, performing John Williams’ score live on stage.

Opening at the Manchester AO Arena on Wednesday October 18, the show is on at Leeds First Direct Arena on Sunday October 22.

Lucy Noble, artistic director at AEG Artistic Presents, said: “The massive arena spectacular showing of the film with the Hallé Orchestra performing the award-winning score will give family audiences the opportunity to experience this film like never before in a wholly immersive way.

"Presenting these incredible events around the country is what we continue to keep doing”.

David Butcher, chief executive of the Hallé Orchestra, said: “The Hallé is delighted to be a part of this tour celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Jurassic Park.

"It is a fantastic opportunity for the Hallé to bring the highest quality orchestral music to an audience who may not have heard an orchestra perform live before. Jurassic Park’s score is iconic and gives the musicians the opportunity to showcase their work to new audiences away from the usual concert hall settings”.

Jurassic Park follows the story of a newly opened theme park set on a remote island, with exhibits featuring recently revived dinosaurs after a scientific breakthrough. When Dr’s Alan Grant,Sam Neill, and Ellie Sattler, Laura Dern, visit, they are left fighting for their lives when the park’s Jurassic inhabitants escape and once again rule the earth.

Released to great critical acclaim in 1993, the original film was followed by a further two pictures in the franchise: 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and 2001’s Jurassic Park III. A testament to the immense success of the three films, the franchise was resurrected in 2015, 22 years after the release of Jurassic Park.
