My guess is that members who had tickets for the cancelled 2021/2022 event are being carried over to this "extraordinary" concert (which is apparently not the same as an "exceptional" concert: Teatro alla Scala). But "extraordinary" could just as well mean that ticket sales are open to everyone and not bound to any membership or subscription. apples and GlastoEls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien F 1,739 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I've spent most of my JW fandom having to travel to US from Ireland to see JW in concert, so his European concerts are very convenient indeed and for that reason they are pretty much unmissable for me if I can get a ticket.

Marian Schedenig 8,085 Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Still undecided on this. Unfortunately it overlaps exactly with my choir's Christmas party (the first since before the pandemic), so I'm reluctant to go. My fomo wouldn't be too great if it's more or less the same programme as previously in Vienna and Berlin, but on the other hand I'd miss meeting everyone again.

Pawel P. 738 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 A bit too many repetitions in relation to Berlin and Vienna, but still a few surprises (Love Theme from Superman, wow!), and maybe during the encores Williams will add something. I would also prefer if instead of Princess Leia's Theme in the program there was Han Solo and the Princess, and for example instead of Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra - The Adventures of Mutt, which hasn't been played for a long time. But I also understand that from Williams' point of view it's important that the concert is as attractive as possible as a whole, unrelated to other concerts. And I imagine that he wants to conduct certain pieces in this special place, with this particular orchestra, whether they were performed in Berlin and Vienna or not. I agree, what really matters is experience. I'm sure it'll be as unique and exceptional as previous European concerts. It would be great if this concert was also filmed and released!

Sandor 796 Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I think this is a wonderful program. For most people attending the concert, this will be the first time they see John Williams conduct and hear his music performed live. Most will be pleased -and expecting- to hear his most famous and iconic pieces. Although I understand it would be interesting for die hard fans who've attended concerts before if he would perform Night Journeys from Dracula or the Love Theme from The Missouri Breaks, in all honesty: this is the right program for this specific moment.

That's true. Same was the case at the Berlin concert. But already there I wondered, even for a greatest hits concert why he programmed some redundancies. He played Marion's theme and Raider's March which basically contains Marion's Theme already. He played Hedwig's Theme and Nimbus 2000, which is Hedwig's Theme for woodwinds. He played Princess Leia's Theme and Throne Room and Finale, which contains Leia's Theme. Here we have Love Theme from Superman and Superman March which contains Love Theme and again the Leia / Throne Room combo.
