Burton and Elfman's music live at The Halls

If you have spent any time watching Tim Burton's films, you know that the music does a lot of the heavy lifting. For more than four decades, Danny Elfman has been the voice behind that vision, and on Wednesday 4 November, The Great British Film Orchestra is bringing that partnership to life at The Halls on St Andrew's Plain. The concert is called "The Music of Tim Burton, Danny Elfman & Beyond", and it is an orchestral tribute to the scores that have become inseparable from Burton's work.

There are two showtimes to choose from, so you can pick the one that suits you. Doors open at 5:00pm for the first performance, which runs from 5:45pm to 7:20pm, and again at 7:50pm for the second, which goes from 8:20pm to 9:55pm. Tickets start at £35.00, and the double-show format means you can come early or later depending on your evening. A couple of things are worth knowing before you book: the show uses bright flashing lights and Portman lighting effects — intense flashes, rapid changes and bright visual effects timed to the music — and there are moments of heightened volume and dynamic contrast typical of a live orchestra, so hearing protection is recommended.

The setlist is where the real draw lies. It pulls from the most recognisable Burton and Elfman collaborations — Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, the 1989 Batman, Sleepy Hollow, Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Alice in Wonderland and Big Fish — and then keeps going. You will also hear themes from Wednesday, Ghostbusters, Harry Potter, Casper, Thriller, Pan's Labyrinth, The Sixth Sense and Hocus Pocus, before the orchestra ventures beyond that partnership altogether with E.T., The Silence of the Lambs and Psycho. It is a broad programme that leans on the most memorable moments of both careers.

For a bit of background, the two have worked together on nearly twenty projects, from Pee-wee's Big Adventure in 1985 through to Alice in Wonderland in 2010, with Elfman scoring more than a hundred feature films in total and Burton pioneering a goth sensibility in Hollywood. The venue itself adds to the atmosphere: The Halls is a Grade I listed building dating back to the 14th century, with St Andrew's Hall completed in 1449, high-beamed ceilings, stained glass windows, limestone columns and a polished maple floor. It is a historic space that suits a night of cinematic music.

Accessibility is well covered, which is worth knowing if you are bringing someone who needs it. Wheelchair spaces are available by booking the seat with the wheelchair icon and the carers seat next to it; for non-wheelchair accessible tickets, you can email hello@xperiencelive.co.uk with a photo of a blue badge or PIP form to get a carers ticket refund. There is step-free access straight into the main hall, lifts including a Cloisters lift and platform lifts up to the St Andrew's Hall stage, and level-access toilets on the north side of the building. The nearest parking with Blue Badge spaces is the St Andrew's multi-storey car park, about a four-minute walk away.
