Coppola's Epic live

Francis Ford Coppola's sprawling triumph of a film The Godfather makes its way to a concert hall near you, where it will be accompanied by a whole symphony orchestra as it celebrates 50 years it opened in theatres. Changing cinema forever. Ranked as one of the best film scores ever written, Nino Rota's unforgettable arrangements won him a Grammy Award and a Golden Globe, and rightly so; the nuanced melancholy, melodic themes, and heightened awareness of the relationship between visuals and music make the score a modern masterpiece.

What is the story?

The Godfather chronicles 10 years of the Sicilian Corleone family's affairs and the transformation of the youngest son Michael Corleone from outsider to ruthless Mafia leader.
