About the Concert

In 1983, George Lucas completed the original trilogy of his "Star Wars" saga with "Return of the Jedi." Cult figures like Yoda and Darth Vader, fantastic locations like the desert planet Tatooine or the second Death Star, and Oscar-winning special effects continue to captivate audiences of all ages to this day. The space epic gained cult status not least due to the award-winning soundtrack by John Williams. A galactic cinematic and sonic journey awaits viewers and listeners as the third film of the science fiction saga makes its debut at the Kulturpalast. While the Dresden Philharmonic, under the direction of Benjamin Pope, performs the impressive soundtrack live, the film will be shown in its entirety on a large screen. The second, even more powerful Death Star, intended to seal the rebels' ultimate demise, is nearing completion. The rebels gather their forces on the moon of Endor to fight against the Empire and the dark side of the Force. Meanwhile, Luke returns to the remote planet Dagobah to complete his Jedi training with Master Yoda. He learns that he must confront his father, Darth Vader, one last time. As the attack on the Death Star commences, there is another lightsaber duel between father and son. Organizer: Alegria Konzert GmbH in cooperation with the Dresden Philharmonic.
