Songs
really make the moment in a movie. Who can think of the swarming
helicopters in “Apocalypse Now” without hearing
those riding Valkyries? Or not shed a tear as a prison fills
with sublime Mozart in “The Shawshank Redemption”?
We’ve
also included some of the best of contemporary film scores, including
“Nella Fantasia” from “The
Mission” to a showstopper from Tim Burton’s
“Corpse Bride”.
Nothing
brings a classic film scene to life like a great movie soundtrack.
Tonight, Hatstand Opera bring the music behind the movies back into the
limelight!
From
favourite opera arias to famous screen songs, you’ll love
these timeless tunes presented in glorious colour by
