September 2024 · 4 minute read

COLOSSEUM CLASSIC

Ridley Scott‘s “Gladiator” is set to return to London’s Royal Albert Hall for a 25th anniversary screening as part of the venue’s Films in Concert series. Scheduled for April 26, 2025, the event will feature the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and Philharmonia Chorus performing Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard‘s Golden Globe-winning score live.

Matthew Todd, director of programming at the Royal Albert Hall, noted the venue’s Roman amphitheater-inspired design as a fitting backdrop for the gladiatorial epic. The screening marks the film’s fourth appearance at the hall since 2014.

The Films in Concert series, launched in 2009, has featured appearances by industry figures such as directors James Cameron (“Titanic”) and Sam Mendes (“Skyfall”), actors Sigourney Weaver (“Aliens”) and Andy Serkis (“Lord of the Rings”), and composer David Arnold (“Casino Royale”). Titles confirmed for the 2024 lineup include “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Ghostbusters,” “Avatar,” “Home Alone” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.”
