SUMMARY:Met Concert #3
DESCRIPTION:Scroll Down For Tickets \nThe Metropolitan Orchestra’s season finale bursts onto the stage with irresistible dance rhythms and late-Romantic splendour. The sultry sway of Márquez’s Danzón No. 2 sets the stage with emotional expression before the performance moves into the glittering waltzes and gallops of Khachaturian’s Masquerade Suite. To close the third and final Met Concert for 2026\, Rachmaninoff’s magnificent Symphonic Dances sweeps the orchestra and audience from haunting nostalgia to exultant triumph in what will be a fitting finale to The Metropolitan Orcehstra’s incredible 18th year of spectacular music\, and TMO’s first at the Verbrugghen in Sydney. \nProudly supported by Inner West Council.  \nWheelchair Seating – there are two dedicated wheelchair spots available. Please email info@metorchestra.com.au to organise booking of these spots.  \n\n

SUMMARY:Romeo and Juliet
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Baz Luhrmann’s iconic 1996 film with the World Premiere of William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet Film in Concert\, a live cinematic concert experience at the Sydney Opera House.  \n\n\n\nFeaturing a big-screen presentation of the film\, elevated with live music\, atmospheric lighting\, and immersive concert stage production. As the film plays on screen\, a 12-piece ensemble from The Metropolitan Orchestra performs the soundtrack and score live in sync with the action\, animating the vibrant world of Verona Beach. \nMore than a traditional night at the movies\, the production brings the film’s romance\, chaos\, and emotional intensity off the screen and into the theatre.  \nDirected by Baz Luhrmann and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes\, William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet reimagined the classic for a new generation with its stylized visuals\, modern energy\, and unforgettable soundtrack featuring Des’ree’s “Kissing You\,” The Cardigans’ “Lovefool\,” Radiohead’s “Talk Show Host\,” and Garbage’s “#1 Crush.” \nDeveloped in collaboration with Disney Concerts\, Williams Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet Film in Concert is a bold fusion of film\, music\, and live performance. \nPresented by TEG Dainty

SUMMARY:The Lord Of The Rings
DESCRIPTION:HOWARD SHORE’S ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING SCORES PERFORMED LIVE TO THE EPIC MOTION PICTURE BY THE METROPOLITAN ORCHESTRA\, CHORUS AND SOLOISTS \nCelebrating an epic quarter century since the release of the iconic Academy Award-winning film\, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring\, fans can now immerse themselves in the spectacular 25th anniversary concert\, with Howard Shore’s original scores performed LIVE to the epic motion picture. \nComposer Howard Shore brings J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary imagination to vivid life with his Academy®- and Grammy® Award-winning score to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Shore’s music expresses Peter Jackson’s film as an immense symphonic work – a uniquely developed vision drawn from centuries of stylistic tendencies. \nThe music of The Lord of the Rings is counted among film music’s most complex and comprehensive works. This unique performance sets the score to the film\, but allows the music to bear the narrative weight\, creating a wholly new and dramatic live concert experience.
