‘In the Mood for Love’ in ConcertHong Kong Cultural Centre 19:30
The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) places the spotlight on the soundtrack of Wong Kar-wai’s seminal and arguably most famous film with an extremely limited screening of In the Mood for Love, accompanied by live music. A special programme launched to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Hong Kong International Film Festival, ‘In the Mood for Love in Concert’ will run for only three performances. The entire film will be screened with HK Phil providing the music under the baton of award-winning conductor Joshua Tan.
All of the yearning and repressed passion is enhanced by Wong’s wonderfully diverse music choices, from Shigeru Umebayashi’s haunting ‘Yumeji’s Theme’ becoming a leitmotif to Nat King Cole’s smooth ‘Quizás, Quizás, Quizás’, and we can’t wait to experience In the Mood for Love again with the soundtrack featured even more prominently.
‘In the Mood for Love in Concert’ will be on show from April 2 to 3, with screenings at 7.30pm on both days, plus a 2.30pm matinee show on April 3. Tickets run from $80 to $780. Read more details about this event.
