Dr. Who fans nationwide, listen up for some spectacular out-of-this-world-news!
The Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular, which celebrates the world’s longest running science fiction TV series, showcases the evocative and thrilling music written by Murray Gold for the series since 2005 and features over 100 performers including the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and members of the BBC National Chorus of Wales, conducted by Ben Foster.
The first ever UK shows will be staged from Saturday 23rd May 2015 to Friday 29th May 2015.
Peter Davison, who portrayed the Fifth Doctor on the BBC One series between 1981 and 1984, has acted as presenter for the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular in Australia and New Zealand in 2014 and 2015 and will reprise this role in the UK this year.
The show features a host of the Doctor’s famous adversaries including the iconic DALEKS and CYBERMEN, the spine-chilling SILENCE and many more fan favourites. The live monsters provide a dramatic contrast to the award-winning and very popular music written by Murray Gold, who has been responsible for composing music for the series over the last eight years, including the record-breaking (and BAFTA award-winning) 50th anniversary episode DOCTOR WHO: The Day of the Doctor.
The show also features Murray’s latest score and footage from the most recent series eight of DOCTOR WHO, the first starring Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor, including the Christmas special broadcast at the end of last year.
The live music will be accompanied by a big screen presentation of key moments from Doctor Who in specially edited video sequences.
Tickets for the first UK presentation of the Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular went on general sale on Friday 1 August 2014, 2014; prices start at £20 per person – www.doctorwhosymphonicspectacular.com
