Jay 32,092 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I saw FOTR LTP at Radio City Music Hall in 2009 and it was literally one of the best concerts I've ever attended AINEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 32,092 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Well the tickets go on sale next week, and 2022 is the 21st anniversary of the 2001 film, but since the concert is in 2023 it's silly Then again referring to any anniversary that doesn't end in a 0 or 5 is silly except for LLL's Spaceballs album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpvee 557 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 VIP tickets including the Q&A and signed CD are $275ish including fees, which frankly is way better than I would’ve expected between the event and the legendary venue. Would be cool if there’s an opportunity to actually meet Shore and get a vinyl signed, but awesome opportunity and reasonable price regardless. I can already buy tickets on Ticketmaster, surprisingly. The first few rows are locked off in a presale, but wouldn’t wanna sit thaaaaat close anyway considering the big screen.

DangerMotif 664 Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 I just got VIP seats for the Monday night. Would be interested to see what the signed CD is but I assume it’s prob the rarities maybe?

Last time it was a touring orchestra from Europe. Chances of it being NY Phil players are slim though, a lot of these concert are performed by freelancers via the local AFM. Sometimes it’s folks from the major orchestras, but generally not. DangerMotif and Jay 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyncMan 246 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Radio City Music Hall seems to think that this concert is going to be a hit. They just added two more shows--Wednesday, February 8th and Thursday, February 9th. https://www.ticketmaster.com/lord-of-the-rings-tickets/artist/947846?venueId=491523 crocodile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SyncMan 246 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The Blossom Music Festival, who presented the LTP concert of FOTR with the Cleveland Orchestra last July, has just announced that they will be doing TTT this July. The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers (clevelandorchestra.com) So, if Blossom is on board to do the trilogy, then perhaps Radio City Music Hall may do it too, seeing as though they have increased the number of shows from 2 to 4 for FOTR last week due to 'overwhelming demand'. crocodile and Jay 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That feels rather dodgy, especially as meeting some random conductor is hardly the same as meeting the composer. And depending on how many VIP tickets they sell, it may be nothing more than being allowed in the same room as the conductor and no guarantee you'd actually get to talk to them. rpvee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 2,639 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Reading again, 'Meet The Maestro Q&A'... is that just a fancy name for an event in the hall before the concert where the conductor takes audience questions? The more you read it, the less it sounds like anything resembling where you'd get to meet them in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes the VIP feel less neat lol. Did they only have Fellowship signed, or the others as well? And the Q&A really didn’t start until midnight?! What time did the movie end?

Since the theatrical cut was shown at the concert, it would be 3 hours, plus a 20 minute intermission. So, figure about 11:25pm. Also... I hope, for Radio City Music Hall's sake, that they don't book it in Feb'24, but sooner. The public could lose interest by then. rpvee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for all the questions, trying to get an idea of how tomorrow night will go. The main problem is that the concert started at 8 so it ended around 11:30, 7/7:30 would have been better. They only sold fellowship signed. They had the symphony but not signed, the autograph was a colored pen not a sharpie so it looks a little different . They also gave a program which you would have to otherwise pay for. Besides the timing the Q&A was great. Happy to answer any other question you have. rpvee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
