Relive Ridley Scott’s five-time Academy Award-winning film on the big screen, with the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra, the Philharmonia Chorus, and Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard’s signature score live on stage, conducted in perfect sync with the movie.
Experience the heroic tale like never before
The screenings will take place at the Royal Albert Hall, marking Gladiator’s fourth appearance at the iconic venue alongside celebrating the film’s 25th anniversary. Matthew Todd, director of programming at the Royal Albert Hall, noted the building’s Roman amphitheatre-inspired design as a fitting backdrop for the gladiatorial epic.
During the performance you will see firsthand how the power of music deepens your connection to what’s in front of you on the screen, making every moment much more cinematic, emotional and momentous.
Maximus, played by Russell Crowe, formerly one of the Roman army’s most trusted generals, is sold by slave traders to battle in the Colosseum. He is determined to take revenge on Emperor Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix), win back his dignity, avenge his family and gain freedom for his people.
A timeless classic and iconic score
Gladiator in Concert has been created by CineConcerts, in partnership with Universal Brand Development and Paramount Pictures. Justin Freer, President of CineConcerts, and producer and conductor of Gladiator in Concert, said: “Gladiator remains as one of the most vibrant and visceral stories ever told on film. Reliving this masterpiece and its iconic music score performed live-to-picture by a world-renowned orchestra and choir will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
The film will feature full original dialogue, which will also be subtitled. Approximate running time of the performance is 3 hours, including a 25 minute interval.
The Gladiator in Concert performances will show Saturday, April 26 and Sunday, April 27 as the first of the series for the 2025 Films in Concert programme.
