Surrounded by the Beauty of a Thousand Candles
Presented in an in-concert format, this special screening sees the film’s original score and music performed live-to-film by an exceptional 12-piece ensemble of rock and orchestral musicians.
It promises to be an impressive live cinematic experience, featuring a unique candlelit atmosphere that will transport audiences deep into the heart of this romantic story, more than fifteen years after the film’s original release.
The dark and melancholic score for Twilight (2008) was written by multi-Academy Award®, BAFTA Award and Critics’ Choice Award nominee Carter Burwell, known for his collaborations with directors such as the Coen brothers, Todd Haynes and Spike Jonze.
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) doesn't expect much when she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, until she meets the mysterious and handsome Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) — a boy who's hiding a dark secret: he's a vampire. As their worlds and hearts collide, Edward must battle the bloodlust raging inside him as well as a coterie of undead that would make Bella their prey.
Twilight has a BBFC rating of 12A. Contains moderate fantasy violence and horror. Please note this event has an age restriction of 8 years and above. Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult.
