ParticipantI went to the World Premiere of Batman Live in Lucerne, Switzerland, last weekend.
It was SPECTACULAR. The conductor, and organizer of this event Ludwig Wicki is truely fantastic. His orchestra (the 21st century orchestra) has become one of the best film music orchestras in the world. They’re responsible for all these MOVIES LIVE with orchestra concerts from the past few years, which explains why so many of these concerts premiere in Switzerland, and why the composers travel all the way to prepare these events.
So, Danny Elfman and Steve Bartek were both there, and they seemed thrilled and more than happy about the result.
The “Scandalous” song in the credits was replaced by a new arrangement of the Batman Theme, Up The Cathedral and Descent Into Mistery, but with a slightly different and more dynamic orchestration!
I had seen the “Alice In Wonderland” orchestral premiere there two years ago and it was already a treat.
I must say the result with BATMAN was outstanding. And the dialog was clear, but some of the big sound effects were muted to let the orchestra breathe !It was an amazing night, and getting to chat with Elfman & Bartek after the concert is always a nice way to end such a nice evening

ParticipantFuck, I’m moving to Switzerland. Or I should plan visits to the relatives I’ve got there in a more strategically-elfman-oriented fashion.

And they will probably do Batman Returns next year.

ParticipantI’ll fly down, too! I went to Anaheim for the Music from Tim Burton concert. Greatest music night of my life. The crowd went wild when ‘Batman’ started playing.

ParticipantDon’t buy your plane tickets yet, they just rescheduled it for next year. (sad slide whistle)

KeymasterStill a chance I make this concert then!

ParticipantApparently, they need to downsize the orchestra…not really sure why it’ll take 8 months to do it, unless there was a scheduling problem on top of it.

KeymasterInteresting — wonder what the factors here are besides the orchestra size. I see lots of tickets available. Maybe initial demand wasn’t there.
