Star Wars™: In Concert is a unique multi-media event featuring music from all six of John Williams’ epic Star Wars scores. Narrated live by Anthony Daniels (the actor who portrayed C-3PO in all six films), the production features a full symphony orchestra and choir, accompanied by specially edited footage from the films displayed on a three-story-tall, high-definition LED super-screen – one of the largest ever put on tour.  The live music and film elements are synchronized in order to create a full multi-media, one-of-a-kind Star Wars experience.
 
“We’ve taken the key themes from the music and cut together all the images that fit with each theme, so you can really get a sense of how the music played into the images,” said George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars Saga. “The whole soundtrack is a testament to John Williams’ creativity and his extraordinary ability to enhance the emotional aspects of the films.”
 
“This event has been crafted to present Star Wars from many points of view; for the first time, the full dramatic sweep of Williams’ iconic scores can be heard performed live in one evening,” said Another Planet Touring Producer Spencer Churchill.” “The show is a new way of experiencing the epic scope of the saga.”
 
Accompanying the concert is an exclusive exhibit of Star Wars costumes, props, artifacts, production artwork and specially created behind-the-scenes videos from the Lucasfilm Archives. Many of these pieces are leaving Skywalker Ranch for the first time. The exhibit features many classic fan favorite artifacts, as well as several new and never-before-seen items.

The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra has been in constant demand for live performances and recordings of classical, light classical and popular music since its formation in 1987, working with internationally-renowned artists in a variety of settings from the traditional – concert halls, stadiums and cathedrals – to the unorthodox.  The orchestra has performed concerts with José Carreras, Diana Krall, Liza Minnelli, Randy Newman, Andrea Bocelli, and Russell Watson, appeared at Tina Turner’s Sixtieth Birthday Concert, performed Aida at Earls Court with the late Luciano Pavarotti and made tours of the UK with Bugs Bunny on Broadway, The Music of ELO and Symphonic Queen. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performed the world premiere performances of STAR WARSTM: In Concert at the O2 Arena in London in April 2009.

Besides performing at Windsor Castle for HM The Queen, The RPCO has toured the US with Andrea Bocelli, and as part of an extensive gala Royal Christmas tour (2002) with Julie Andrews, Christopher Plummer and Charlotte Church. A repeat Royal Christmas tour of North America in December 2005, featuring Andrea Bocelli and Denyce Graves, performed to sell-out audiences. This season, they have performed the popular Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I, joined comedian Barry Humphries (and his famous alter ego Dame Edna Everage) for a riotous UK tour of ‘Last Night of the Proms!’ and is currently performing STAR WARSTM: In Concert which began its North American tour in October 2009.
