An all-new score to accompany Fritz Lang’s Metropolis is one of the highlights of the Royal Albert Hall’s Festival of Film, coming later this year.

Fritz Lang’s 1927 sci-fi masterwork, Metropolis, which has influenced everything from Star Wars to Blade Runner, will be accompanied live on Wednesday 10 October by pianist and composer Dmytro Morykit, playing a score that has been 30 years in the making.

There will also be a Classic Album Sundays special on Wednesday 17 October with composer and music editor Michael Price, talking about his work on Sherlock, Children of Men and the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

These shows are added to Films in Concert presentations of Jurassic Park (Saturday 29 September (2:30pm & 7:30pm) and Sunday 30 September (1:30pm)) and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (Tuesday 23 October (7:30pm) and Wednesday 24 October (1pm and 7:30pm)) in the Hall’s historic main auditorium, as well as a (sold-out) one-off appearance on Friday 26 October from movie legend John Williams, his first performance in Britain for two decades.
