A SYMPHONIC NIGHT AT THE MOVIES! PACIFIC SYMPHONY POPS PRESENTS MUCH-LOVED CLASSIC FILM “CASABLANCA” WITH
MAX STEINER’S GLORIOUS SCORE PERFORMED LIVE!
Orange County, Calif.—Pacific Symphony Pops sweeps the audience off to a world of romance, wit, intrigue and remarkable music as the orchestra recreates the score—live!—to the classic film, “Casablanca,” shown on the big screen. Led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, the Symphony delivers the lush emotion captured in the triumphant soundtrack created by old Hollywood’s best-known composer Max Steiner. Featuring the popular song “As Time Goes By,” played by Sam (Dooley Wilson), the 1942 film is a true gem from the Golden Age that has captured America’s hearts for decades with the nostalgic love affair between Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman’s characters.
Set in exotic Morocco during World War II, with memorable characters, quotable dialogue—“We’ll always have Paris,” “Here’s looking at you, kid”—and a beloved score, the film was an instant success, winning three Academy Awards including Best Picture and a nomination for Best Score.
“Casablanca” takes place Thursday through Saturday, March 15-17, at 8 p.m. in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall decorated with Moroccan flair reminiscent of the film. Tickets are $25-160; for more information or to purchase tickets call 714-755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
