The Oscar-winning film music by composer Howard Shore performed live to the complete original version of the first part of the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" by the MDR Symphony Orchestra, MDR Radio Choir and MDR Children's Choir with large-screen projection and over 200 performers

Since J.R.R. Tolkien published his three-part epic in 1954, "The Lord of the Rings" has impressed millions of readers and transported them into the world of Middle-earth. The work set standards for the genre of fantasy literature, as it created an absolutely new and extraordinarily believable universe from scratch. An unforgettable hero - the hobbit Frodo Baggins - is caught between the fronts of a war of enormous proportions in Middle-earth, a world full of magic and legendary myths. Above all, "The Lord of the Rings" celebrates the power of self-sacrificing friendship and individual courage, great and mighty enough to keep even the most devastating forces of darkness at bay.

The only "The Lord of the Rings" production authorized by composer Howard Shore

In 2001, "The Lord of the Rings" finally came to cinemas in a breathtaking film adaptation, the largest and most elaborate film production of all time. Film music composer Howard Shore created a fully composed, Oscar and Grammy award-winning musical work that accompanies the plot with emotional, complex interwoven themes and assigns each culture in Middle-earth its own motifs. Reason enough to experience this wonderful music live to the movie!

"The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" with live music and large-screen projection has already enjoyed sensational success in recent years with numerous sold-out performances. The original soundtrack of the film, reduced by the music, provides the right cinematic sound. The fact that the music is played live by over 200 performers adds to the goosebump feeling. One of the most successful film adaptations in cinema history is transformed into a multimedia experience on a specially installed large screen, the emotional power of which culminates in the grandiose live music and which no one can escape.
