Ocean in Concert is a breathtaking live experience that celebrates the wonders of our blue planet.
Narrated on film by Sir David Attenborough and accompanied by a full symphony orchestra, the production combines stunning cinematography with a moving score from Academy Award-winning composer Steven Price (Gravity) performed by Welsh National Opera Orchestra conducted by Robert Ziegler.
Audiences are immersed in the beauty and drama of coral reefs, kelp forests, and the open ocean, with Attenborough guiding us through dazzling spectacles of life beneath the waves as well as the urgent challenges they face. Balancing awe with action, this cinematic concert reveals the ocean’s fragility, resilience, and potential for renewal – leaving audiences inspired by the message that recovery is possible, and hope is within reach.
Presented by esk in collaboration with Silverback Films, Open Planet Studios, All3 Media, Altitude Films, National Geographic, and Steven Price.
