A galaxy far, far away is coming to Monaco. On Saturday 17th April 2027, the Grimaldi Forum’s Salle des Princes will screen Star Wars: A New Hope with John Williams’ legendary score performed live by the Sinfonia Pop Orchestra, under the musical direction of Jordan Gudefin.

The concert forms part of a touring celebration of the film’s 50th anniversary. An orchestra of nearly 100 musicians will perform in precise synchronisation with the film as it plays on screen — from the opening fanfare to the medal ceremony finale — placing the audience inside the music in a way no recorded soundtrack can replicate.

A score that changed cinema

Williams’ music for the original Star Wars, released in 1977, won the Academy Award for Best Original Score and remains among the most recognised pieces of film music ever written. Heard live, across a full symphonic ensemble, it transforms what is already one of cinema’s most beloved films into something else entirely.

The screening runs for two and a half hours including an interval, with the film presented in its original version with French subtitles.
