Time Out says

The Force will return to the magnificent Hamer Hall when the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra (MSO) takes to the stage to present Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in Concert.

Off the back of the popular Star Wars in Concert Series, Melburnians will once again have the chance to enjoy the classic 1983 film on a huge screen, as they listen to John Williams’ renowned score brought to life with the full force of the mighty MSO.  

The intergalactic event will screen the entire film from start to finish, and highlights include legendary scenes like the near-death of Luke Skywalker at Jabba the Hutt's desert fortress (which also features Princess Leia in her famous two-piece), as well as the final battle between Skywalker, Darth Vader and the Emperor. And sorry to the haters, but there will also be plenty of Ewok content to enjoy, too. 

Conductor Nicholas Buc will once again lead the MSO during this spectacular sonic journey to a galaxy far, far away.

Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in Concert will run across June 6-8, so we’d suggest you secure your tickets before they sell out. You can also check out the MSO's 2024 program here.
