The film 'The Holiday' screened on an HD cinema-size screen with its score performed live by a full concert orchestra.
The Holiday in Concert comes to Portsmouth Guildhall on Tuesday 8 December, with the film The Holiday screened on an HD cinema-size screen and its score performed live by a full concert orchestra. It's a festive tradition for some, and it's back in the city after a sell-out run of dates last Christmas.
For those who haven't seen it, The Holiday was written, directed and produced by Nancy Meyers, who also did It's Complicated, The Intern, Something's Gotta Give and The Parent Trap. It stars Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law and Jack Black. The story follows two women who meet on a home-exchange website and impulsively swap houses: Iris moves into Amanda's home in sunny California while Amanda arrives in the snow-covered English countryside, and each finds an unexpected romance. Seeing it with a live orchestra playing along to the film on a big screen changes the experience from a quiet night in with a DVD to something more like a night at the theatre.
It's a family-friendly one, and the tour has become a regular for families and film and music lovers each festive period. Under-14s have to be accompanied by an adult, so it works as a night out with the kids as much as a date. If you're fancying a bit more to the evening, hospitality and charcuterie packages can be added up to 24 hours before the show.
