Chicago Philharmonic Revives The Holiday: The Beloved Romcom’s Score Comes to Life for One Night Only

There are a few romcom films that have become staples in our cultural lexicon —*When Harry Met Sally, Bridget Jones’s Diary, and Notting Hill*, to name a few. One particular movie pulls tropes from all these plots, yet it has one distinct advantage—the soundtrack transcends it. Yes, the movie we’re discussing is *The Holiday. * The 2006 romcom from director Nancy Meyers is a tale of Christmastime love. The film starsCameron Diaz , Jude Law , Kate Winslet , and Jack Black . It tells the story of Amanda, who lives in LA as a movie trailer editor, and Iris, who lives in Surrey as a journalist. The two decide to swap houses for two weeks at Christmas —both trying to forget their troubled love lives, until love finds them anyway. Now you can experience the film as it was meant to be seen, with a live orchestra performing the score. The upcoming live-to-film experience at The Auditorium brings together the holiday classic and Hans Zimmer’s score for Chicagoans, under the direction of longtime collaborator and conductor Thiago Tiberio . When can you experience The Holiday at the Auditorium? ------------------------------------------------------ The one-night-only presentation will take place Saturday, December 20, at 7:30 PM at The Auditorium.
