Utah Symphony Presents BBC Production of The Blue Planet

The Utah Symphony Presents
The Blue Planet Live!

The performance will feature the Utah Symphony with video from the BBC / Discovery series: The Blue Planet.

A unique show; a theatrical presentation of the most remarkable film sequences from the celebrated BBC / Discovery television series The Blue Planet. These sequences have been specially edited and are shown on giant screens, with the full Utah Symphony orchestra performing the music from the series, written by George Fenton. There are different emotional moments to appeal to a broad family audience, some funny, some spooky, and much of it highly emotional.

The evening will be narrated by Senator Orrin Hatch who will introduce the audience to the footage, giving them the amazing statistics and facts about what they are seeing as well as a behind the scenes account of what it was like to do the filming. There has never been such an elaborate or theatrical presentation of Natural History.

Whilst being entertaining it is eventually about a message. By witnessing the wonders of the oceans we can better understand how to protect them. It is a message that reaches adults and children alike. The response in London was so positive that The Blue Planet Live! is now on a world tour.
