Read full details

Experience the epic score of DreamWorks Animation's *How to Train Your Dragon 2* performed live by a full symphony orchestra as the film screens in high-definition. John Powell's Grammy-nominated soundtrack comes to life with a 120-piece orchestra and 100-voice choir, recreating the soaring melodies and thunderous percussion that underscore Hiccup and Toothless's journey.

This concert event brings the film's emotional depth and Viking adventure to the stage, featuring Celtic harp, uilleann bagpipes, and Highland bagpipes performed by pipers from The Red Hot Chilli Pipers. The score, recorded at Abbey Road Studios, blends Northern European folk traditions with modern orchestration, creating a unique "viking music" genre that transports audiences to Berk.

Fans of the franchise will recognize themes from the first film woven into new compositions, including the central cue "Lost and Found" and original songs by Jónsi and Alexander Rybak. It's a rare opportunity to hear Powell's acclaimed work performed live, offering a cinematic experience that goes beyond a standard film screening.
