I was going to say wow, that's a long film to do, then I saw the edited for live concert part

 

I wonder what scenes they took out

[SyncMan 314]

For those of you who use the website, Movies in Concert, to see what film-music concerts are playing nearest you: don’t count on the site listing any performance schedules of ‘Fiddler on the Roof’.  The site doesn’t list live-action musicals like, Mary Poppins or the film-versions of West Side Story; but they list animated musicals, like Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin.

 

Film Concerts Live! does list performance schedules of their rentals, but they have a bad reputation of not listing them as soon as the venues/orchestras start selling tickets of the FCL concerts on their websites.  FCL does get around to listing them much later, but when that happens, all the good seats are taken.  For example, on FCL’s web-pages of Home Alone and Raiders, I don’t see the listings of these rentals that will be used by the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Ireland (that @Incanusgratuitously reported to us).

Perhaps, Citi Light Concerts in Switzerland may be quick to book ‘Fiddler’.  They just did the LTP concert of Chicago (2002) a few weeks ago.

 

So, if any of you know a venue that is doing this concert, please share that info, here.

Does the orchestra play to the songs or just the underscore?  

[Jay 37,373]

Definitely the songs too, that's the majority of the music in the film.

 

BTW, there's a great episode of The Legacy of John Williams podcast where Andy Einhorn talks about how they got sheet music prepared for a stage production using the film's adaptation as a basis.  I wonder if these new LTP concerts used that as a starting point

It looks like the website, Movies In Concert, had a change of heart by listing this LTP concert of the live-action movie-musicial in their site.

https://www.moviesinconcert.nl/index.php?page=view&id=54455

So, you guys can start looking out for future, yet early-posting, bookings of this concert on that said site.

Yes, it is different? Although it does use JW's arrangements, that is a stage production, not an LTP concert. 

 

This may have been what Jay was talking about earlier.

Anyways, this credit from the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra is a dead giveaway that it is not an LTP concert:

"Directed and Choreographed by Gustavo Zajac."

CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT – «FIDDLER ON THE ROOF» LIVE WORLD PREMIERE AT KKL LUZERN!

"Tradition", "If I Were A Rich Man", "Sunrise, Sunset"... Who doesn't know these songs? We are delighted to present the live world premiere of the iconic 1971 musical film «Fiddler on the Roof» with the Oscar-winning work of Hollywood legend John Willliams at the KKL Lucerne on 31 May 2024!

Set in the village of Anatevka in Ukraine in 1905, «Fiddler on the Roof» tells the story of Tevye (Chaim Topol), who tries to find good husbands for his five daughters while trying to preserve the traditions of his religion and community in a changing world.

While the restored film shines on the big screen, the 75-piece City Light Symphony Orchestra performs Jerry Bock's music, adapted and expanded by John Williams, with the original vocals to match the film. Conducted by Anthony Gabriele.
