The Music of Hans Zimmer and Others

Presented by a pirate from "The Pirates of the Caribbean".

"The Music of Hans Zimmer & Others" is an unforgettable concert and audiovisual experience for all ages, film enthusiasts, music lovers and families.

The best music by Hans Zimmer is performed by the Hollywood Film Orchestra in an impressive show with light installations, laser projections and selected film clips. Star soloists from the original Broadway production will perform excerpts from "The Lion King", Zimmer's most popular box office hit.

No other composer has had such an impact on the film world over the last two decades as Oscar, Globe and Emmy award-winner Hans Zimmer with his breathtaking compositions for films such as "James Bond", "The Lion King", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Gladiator", "The Dark Knight", "Man of Steel", "Inception" and "Interstellar".

Hans Zimmer has written the film music for more than 200 films and won his second Oscar for "Dune" (2022) after his first Academy Award for "The Lion King" (1994). He cites Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, whose work is presented with excerpts from the films "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in the West". Zimmer followed Morricone's example of often composing the film music before - rather than after - shooting, and influenced the entire film. For example, he changed the beginning of Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" - the world-famous director moved into Hans Zimmer's studio.
