It may have lost out on its golden trophy at the last moment, but that doesn’t take away from the beautiful film that is “La La Land”.
The Colorado Symphony has just announced that La La Land will be screened on Wednesday, July 12th, and Friday, July 14th 2017, at the Boettcher Concert Hall, accompanied by a live score performance.
Written and directed by Damien Chazelle, La La Land tells the story of Mia (Emma Stone), an aspiring actress, and Sebastian (Ryan Gosling), a dedicated jazz musician, who are struggling to make ends meet in a city known for crushing hopes and breaking hearts.
Set in modern day Los Angeles, this original musical about everyday life explores the joy and pain of pursuing your dreams.
Colorado Symphony Chief Artistic Officer Anthony Pierce said “La La Land is such a terrific film, and we’re thrilled to perform the full movie score — especially this quickly after its run in the theaters. I’m proud to say we’re offering the only concert of its kind in the region. Whether or not you saw it in the theaters, you’ll get an even more dramatic effect seeing the full movie play on-screen with live symphonic music,”
Additionally, the Colorado Symphony has announced that “Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses” and a “Free Season Preview 2017/18” will be screened with a live score performance during this summer.
Tickets to all the of shows above are available online, by phone at (303) 623-7876, and in person at the Boettcher Concert Hall Box Office, Denver Performing Arts Complex, 1000 14th St, Denver, CO 80202.
