The film showings will be in HD on a giant screen, while the orchestra's 90 musicians and 160 choristers perform the music from the soundtrack in sync with the films.

"The logistics are huge. It's the biggest project we've ever done," said Andrew Bales, president of Symphony Silicon Valley, which will present two cycles of the trilogy at the Center for the Performing Arts, with separate screenings for each of the three films over a four-day period, April 16-19, on a 48-by-20-foot screen.

It will be the first American orchestra ever to present filmmaker Peter Jackson's entire trilogy in tight sequence. The project amounts to a marathon for the musicians, since composer Howard Shore's score runs to more than 10 hours in total.

Wow!

So on April the 18th, the orchestra will perform Return of the King at 1300 and Fellowship of the Ring at 1900? Who are these guys? That's a superhuman task.

Never heard of the same orchestra performing Rheingold and Götterdämmerung in one day. That's about the equivalence.
