About this event

We don’t often get Hollywood epics paired with a full live orchestra, let alone for free, so this is one you’ll want to lock in early. Interstellar’s sweeping score is something else when played in person and the Plenary’s acoustics will do it justice.

Event details from Big Live Screen

After soldout performances across Europe, Christopher Nolan's masterpiece on the big screen with live orchestra playing Hans Zimmer's score.

MATINEE SHOW JUST ANNOUNCED – TICKETS

With our time on Earth running out, a team of explorers sets out on the most important mission in human history: travelling beyond our galaxy to find humanity a future among the stars. Matthew McConaughey stars as ex-pilot-turned-farmer Cooper, alongside Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine and Jessica Chastain.

Among Interstellar’s five Academy Award nominations was Best Original Score, for what Hans Zimmer calls the favourite of his career. He built it around the pipe organ, and at the organ for every Australian performance is Roger Sayer, the organist Zimmer chose to record the original soundtrack. The voice you hear in the film is his, and in Melbourne he plays it live.

The first Australian tour reaches the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre on Sunday 21 March 2027 – one night only – before culminating at the Sydney Opera House.

Some films are made to be played with an orchestra. Interstellar is one of them.

South Wharf’s Plenary Theatre is known for its crisp acoustics and comfortable sightlines, which means every note from Zimmer’s score will land with real impact. The area is usually buzzing on weekends, but inside it’s all about the music and the film-a proper big-screen experience without the usual cinema distractions. You’re close to the Yarra too, so it’s easy to make an afternoon of it. This is ideal for film lovers, music fans or anyone who always turns up the volume for the big moments. Unlike other film screenings with orchestras in Melbourne, this one’s completely free, making it a rare chance to introduce friends or family to something special without the usual price tag. Don’t hang back on tickets-these shows fill quickly.
