Twilight In Concert offers fans the chance to rediscover the beloved story in a unique live setting. A talented 12-piece ensemble of outstanding rock and orchestral musicians from the FILMharmonique Orchestra, along with vocalistSam Champagne, will perform the iconic score in perfect synchronization with the full-length film, shown on a massive cinema screen.
The stage will be illuminated by over a thousand twinkling candles, setting the perfect backdrop for this romantic journey.
For locals, the Twilight saga may bring back some nostalgia as many key scenes were filmed in Vancouver and areas of British Columbia from 2008–2012, and there was a Twilight Convention in Vancouver in 2010. The Orpheum Theatre, the venue for this event, was featured in a flashback scene with Edward. The filmmakers used the interior, balcony walkway, and stairway of the historic theatre, adding an extra layer of connection for fans attending the event.
Enter to Win
I have a pair of tickets to give away! Here’s how you can enter to win:
Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) doesn’t expect much when she moves to the small town of Forks, Washington, until she meets the mysterious and handsome Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) — a boy who’s hiding a dark secret: he’s a vampire. As their worlds and hearts collide, Edward must battle the bloodlust raging inside him as well as a coterie of undead that would make Bella their prey. Based on the #1 NEW YORK TIMES best-selling sensation by Stephenie Meyer, TWILIGHT adds a dangerous twist to the classic story of star-crossed lovers.
This film experience with live music is sure to draw nostalgic audiences, and new fans.
