Sydney Symphony Orchestra Presents Casino Royale In Concert

In collaboration with Film Concert Live!, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will present the Australian premiere of Casino Royale in Concert on 28 February-1 March, 2019 at the Sydney Opera House.

For the first time ever, audiences will be able to experience Bond on the big screen accompanied by the power of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performing composer David Arnold's thrilling musical score live and in sync to the picture. The concert will be led by conductor Joshua Tan.

Casino Royale marks Daniel Craig's first appearance as the legendary MI6 operative, earning him high marks with fans and critics alike.

Directed by Martin Campbell, EON Production and Metro Goldwyn Mayer's (MGM) Casino Royale brings us Bond at the start of his career, having just earned 00 status and his licence to kill, and pits him against the ruthless terrorist financier known as Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen). From the jungles of Madagascar to the white sand beaches of the Bahamas, Bond's pursuit of Le Chiffre leads to a showdown in a high-stakes poker game at the luxurious Casino Royale in Montenegro, and ultimately to a jaw-dropping finale on the Grand Canal in Venice.

Along the way, Bond meets the British Treasury agent Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), assigned to keep a watchful eye on 007 as he risks it all to bring down Le Chiffre. Giancarlo Giannini stars as René Mathis, Bond's mysterious MI6 contact in Montenegro, and Judi Dench returns as M.

Tickets will go on sale on Global James Bond Day, Friday 5 October at 9am via sydneysymphony.com or SSO Box Office on (02) 8215 4600.
