Looking for a fresh take on a Friday
night date? For one evening only, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra has
collaborated with Turner Classic Movies for a night of dinner, danger
and dashing gentlemen - all accompanied by live music. Performing the
cult-classic score, the ASO
plays Casablanca as it's
projected onto the big screen.
Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Plays Casablanca
Friday,
July 15
Verizon
Wireless Amphitheater
In a mind-boggling mix of technology and
tradition, Casablanca
has been remastered with only the soundtrack removed. Conducted by Jere Flint,
the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra swells
and sways behind those famous lines which have become the benchmark of romance.
Says Ben
Mankiewicz, TCM's film fanatic and the evening's host, "It's quite amazing
to see and hear and feel. When new technology can thoughtfully enhance the
experience of something we revere from another generation, I think there's a
real opportunity to attract an audience that might otherwise have been
missed." Now in its 66th season, the ASO has found an enticing
balance between technology and talent, creating cutting-edge shows which speak
to the generations of classic concert enthusiasts, as well as teens and
twenty-somethings looking for a memorable date night.
Perfect for family night or a
double-date, the Family
Ticket Package includes four lawn or pavilion seats, four food baskets,
lawn chair rentals and a parking pass for just $60.
