RTÉ Concert Orchestra’s hugely popular screenings with live score is James Cameron Aliens, score by James Horner. It will take place Friday 23rd and Saturday 24th September at the Bord Gáis Energy Theatre. Tickets are on sale this Monday, 15th July!
These are phenomenal events where a movie is shown on a massive cinema screen, as the RTÉ Concert Orchestra plays the soundtrack of said movie live (shown is a previous event for Raiders of the Lost Ark).
I highly recommend checking one of these events out if you get a chance. I saw The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at the 3Arena and it was an amazing experience.

“Aliens Live
Screening with Live Score
In an Irish first, experience James Cameron’s cult classic ALIENS on a vast HD screen while the gripping score, composed by celebrated composer James Horner, is performed live in-sync by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary, ALIENS has grossed over $130 million worldwide since its 1986 release. This action-packed horror was nominated for 7 Academy Awards® including Best Actress (Sigourney Weaver) and Best Original Music (James Horner). In this thrilling sequel to Ridley Scott’s ground-breaking, ALIEN, the terror continues as Sigourney Weaver reprises her role as Ellen Ripley for one of the most compelling and critically-acclaimed sequels of all time, ALIENS. The film was the first collaboration between director James Cameron’s and composer James Horner, a partnership that would eventually produce epic film music for the record breaking blockbusters Titanic and Avatar.
This time it’s war.
Fifty-seven years after Ellen Ripley survives a terrifying ordeal, her escape vessel is found drifting across the galaxy while she is in hyper sleep. Back on earth, her story about an alien encounter on the planet, LV-426 is met with skepticism. The Company orders the colonists who have settled on LV-426 to investigate, however, all communication with them is lost. The Company enlists Ripley to aid a team of high-tech experienced space marines on a rescue mission to LV-426 to find out if there are aliens or survivors. As the mission unfolds, Ripley is forced to come to grips with her worst nightmare and discovers that the worst is yet to come.
