Amélie in Concert

Last few tickets
For the first time in the UK, Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s cult film returns to the screen in an unprecedented cine-concert version with 40 musicians on stage.
Twenty-five years after its theatrical release, Amélie is being given a symphonic rebirth at the Royal Festival Hall.
The 40 musicians of the Guildhall Session Orchestra perform Yann Tiersen’s iconic soundtrack live, in perfect synchronisation with the film projected on the big screen, transporting you to the cobbled streets of Montmartre and its poetic universe that has captivated millions of viewers around the world.
Amélie Poulain is a lonely young waitress at the Café des Deux Moulins. One evening, upon discovering a box filled with childhood treasures hidden behind a baseboard in her apartment, she decides to find its owner.
Moved by the emotion of this man rediscovering his memories 40 years later, she sets herself a mission: to devote her life to bringing happiness to others.
Nominated for the Oscars and honoured with four César Awards, Amélie has charmed the world with its poetic, whimsical, and tender universe, redefining the codes of 21st-century French cinema.
At this event, the waitress from the Café des Deux Moulins reclaims her magical power for one exceptional evening: the power to make us believe in happiness, impossible encounters and the beauty of life’s little nothings.
Presented by Throw of Dice Touring in association with Ugo & Play and by arrangement with Hurwitz Concerts. Amélie is licensed by Paramount Pictures. Motion picture, artwork & photos © 2001 Miramax Film Corp. All rights reserved.
