Last night at UCLA’s Royce Hall, nearly 1,000 lucky attendees got to hear the music that defined the cinematic event of 2023, Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer.
Following warm introductions from Cillian Murphy and Nolan, Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson and his partner in life and music, Serena Göransson, produced a live-to-film experience of their Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-shortlisted score for the $955 million-grossing historical epic. The duo were joined by conductor Anthony Parnther, who led the evening’s 55-piece orchestra, featuring many of the same musicians he also conducted during the score’s original studio sessions.
Together with Universal Studios, Syncopy and the event-related services of Black Ink, Fine Line and Encompass, the Göranssons dedicated the entirety of the past two months to Oppenheimer: Live in Concert. They painstakingly rearranged their two-hour and 43-minute score, so that it could be played live in continuous fashion, with the exception of a musician-friendly intermission at the film’s two-hour mark.

Christopher Nolan has told me that composer Ludwig Göransson’s score for the Golden Globe-winning Oppenheimer is “part of the DNA of the project.”
The five-time Oscar-nominated filmmaker explains that music “isn’t something that we hastily add after we’ve shot the film.” It is, rather, an integral part of his movie-making process, “the secret sauce,” he adds.
Göransson and Nolan began discussing the music before the screenplay was completed “so that I can use Ludwig’s music even as I’m shooting,” he explains.
In fact, Göransson notes that he had created something like “two to three hours of music” before Nolan’s cameras rolled.

“It was hours and hours, and months and months of experimenting, and we started early,” he says. “I was able to write music based solely on conversations Chris and I had, and from reading the script at different stages of its evolution.

The Hollywood Bowl can be a magical place. Set in the Hollywood Hills, this giant amphitheater that opened in 1929 seats 17,500 people. They host countless musical acts, but one of the big draws is when a live orchestra plays along with a popular film. The LA Philharmonic recently performed alongside an "Amadeus" showing, and "The Nightmare Before Christmas" with live music is one of the venue's hottest tickets. Now Disney is bringing the Academy Award-winning film "Encanto" to the Bowl with the original voice cast.
Not everyone can get to Los Angeles, of course, but Disney+ subscribers will be able to stream the special. The concert will happen over two nights on November 11 and 12, 2022, and will be available to stream at the end of the year.
That's not a bad deal! As cool as the event space is, this means you won't have to deal with the insane traffic, parking nightmares...
