Lord of the Rings Live in Prague 2027: Dates, Tickets
Popular
When: 30 April – 1 May 2027
Where: O2 universum, Prague 9 – Libeň
It is 25 years since the premiere of the first part of Peter Jackson's trilogy based on J. R. R. Tolkien's book, and ten years since the sold-out concert with a live orchestra at O2 arena. Now The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in Concert brings the story of the Ring back to Prague, this time at O2 universum, with the film shown on a large screen.
The score by Oscar-winning composer Howard Shore is performed live by 230 performers: a symphony orchestra, a mixed choir, a children's choir and guest soloists who sing in Tolkien's invented languages as well as in English. The music paints each part of Middle-earth in its own colours: Celtic melodies for the hobbits, ethereal eastern shades for the elves, rough male choirs for the dwarves, and aggressive taiko drums with the sound of chains striking piano strings for the orcs. At a concert like this, the music carries the weight of the story and gives the film a new, dramatic feel.
The film is shown in the original language with Czech subtitles, so a basic knowledge of the story and of English will help visitors who do not read Czech. The evening suits fans of the trilogy, lovers of film music and anyone who wants to hear a famous soundtrack played live. For booking and more details, see the organiser's page.
