Tonight was the MPO performance of the movie The Godfather-live.
It’s been quite sometime that I last saw and heard a movie soundtrack conducted live whilst the movie was screened. That last time must have been in the early 2000s and it was the performance of the black and white Charlie Chaplin movie, The Kid. That was also a MPO performance.
The hall was packed tonight and I think they have a full house for this performance. And the people coming for the concerts here are all well dressed.
It is a different experience watching the movie and having the music played live. The movie features a wonderful score by Nino Rota. The love theme that plays only in the second half of the movie is divine. The orchestra played well. And of course the movie is one of the all time greats! The playing during the end credits was exceptional.
A wonderful evening.
