Forget everything you know about movie nights, Etihad Arena is turning the classic film experience on its head. On January 17 and 18, 2025, prepare yourself for an epic fusion of cinema and symphony as the renowned 21st Century Orchestra, led by maestro Ludwig Wicki, brings ‘Movies In Concert’,  your favourite films to life in a way you’ve never seen (or heard) before to Etihad Arena.

Abu Dhabi Is Changing The Way We See Movies!

This isn’t your typical night at the movies. Imagine watching beloved scenes from “Frozen,” “Jurassic Park,” “The Lion King,” and “Top Gun: Maverick” on a massive screen. Now, picture those iconic soundtracks performed live, right in front of you. It’s not just about seeing the action; it’s about feeling every note as the orchestra plays the soundtrack in perfect sync with the on-screen drama. The result? A sensory experience that makes your favourite films even more unforgettable.

On January 17, the stage is set for a frosty adventure as “Frozen” melts hearts all over again. Whether you’re channelling your inner Elsa or singing along to “Let It Go,” this performance promises to be as cool as the Ice Queen herself. Later that night, hold onto your seats (and your popcorn) as “Jurassic Park” roars to life. With John Williams’ spine-tingling score performed live, you’ll feel those T-Rex footsteps in your chest. These classics, enhanced by live orchestration, make for a cinematic experience that’s both nostalgic and thrilling.
