Ennio Morricone received his last Oscar in February 2016 for Quentin Tarantino’s »The Hateful Eight«. Morricone made himself immortal almost 50 years ago with his music for »Once Upon a Time in the West«. His compositions for the Italo-Western classic »The Good, the Bad and the Ugly«, Roland Joffé’s drama »The Mission« and Giuseppe Tornatore’s film »Cinema Paradiso« became particularly well known.
His fans can experience Morricone’s unforgettable works live in selected cities. Star guest Marc Breitfelder is one of the best harmonica players in the world. The large ensemble of soloists, orchestra and choir of the Milano Festival Opera will also be on stage to bring Morricone’s captivating music to life. The technically sophisticated screen animation with the original film scenes intensifies the gripping atmosphere and creates the famous goosebump effect that nobody can resist.
