Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is arriving with full, live orchestral accompaniment for the first time ever in the UK this September, as it comes to the Royal Albert Hall.

The iconic film arrives for five performances – Saturday 21 September (2:30pm & 7:30pm), Sunday 22 September (1:30pm & 6:30pm), Monday 23 September (7:30pm) – with John Williams’ iconic score performed live on stage by the acclaimed Philharmonia Orchestra.

Lucy Noble, Artistic Director at the Royal Albert Hall, said: “We were delighted to host the UK premiere of Star Wars: A New Hope in Concert last year, one of the most requested films in the ten years that we’ve been hosting Films in Concert. We’re ecstatic that Star Wars is coming back this year, with the most critically-acclaimed and musically ground-breaking movie in the series.”

The Films in Concert series celebrates its 10th birthday this year. Since 2009, the shows have sold a total of 499,080 tickets – the lucky 500,000th ticket-buyer is set to receive a special prize.

Tickets are on sale at 9am on Friday February 22nd from http://www.royalalberthall.com, with a Wednesday pre-sale for the venue’s Friends and Patrons.

The Star Wars: Film Concert Series is produced under license by Disney Concerts in association with 20th Century Fox and Warner/Chappell Music. Additional UK tour dates to be announced.
