Following the enormous audience interest in the premiere of the first installment in December 2022, the organizers at JV Classics have decided to bring the epic fantasy trilogy “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” to life with a live orchestra. The performance will take place on March 23, 2024, at the modern O2 universum hall in Prague.
It has been 20 years since the release of the film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpiece in January 2003, but this groundbreaking work has not lost any of its popularity among viewers. On the contrary, new generations continue to admire its perfection.
The music for the trilogy was composed by the renowned composer Howard Shore. The extensive scope of the music requires a symphony orchestra, choir, boys’ choir, and instrumental and vocal soloists singing in Tolkien’s fictional languages, as well as in English, describes the music’s author.
The music of “The Lord of the Rings” is considered one of the most complex works in the field of film music. Styles and instruments from different corners of the world enhance and characterize the individual elements of Tolkien’s saga. It will forever remain Howard Shore’s most famous work, for which he received two Oscars (for “The Fellowship of the Ring” and “The Return of the King”).
