Programme notes

After the great success of Casablanca with orchestra in the Tívoli Theater, we are pleased to be able to present the legendary musical Singin ‘in the rain with orchestra. This screening will be with a special copy with the original voices but without the orchestral arrangements, which will be performed live by the Camera Musicae Symphony Orchestra and will be enjoyable and heard with a sound quality far beyond that of the original film and with all the rhythm and intensity of the original swing of the time.

Directed by Gene Kelly and Stanley Donen and produced by Metro Goldwyn Mayer glorious Technicolor, Singin ‘in the raines is considered the best musical in movie history and is performed by Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O’Connor. The film portrays the transition from silent film to sound in Hollywood in the 1930’s as well and contains mythical songs and musical numbers such as Singin ‘in the rain, Make’ em laugh or Good morning.

Get excited by the cinema, the music and all the splendor of cinemas before, with the Camera Musicae Symphony Orchestra.
