“Our Planet Live in Concert” is a two-hour production that features film from the Emmy-winning documentary series on a big screen; a live, 18-piece orchestra; and narration from David Attenborough and William Shatner.
"Our Planet Live in Concert" will be at the Eccles Theater on Tuesday, Feb. 14.When Oscar- and Emmy-winning composer Steven Price was in London’s famous Abbey Road recording studio listening as an orchestra performed his score for theWatching the orchestra as the film was projected behind them, “I just remember saying to one of the executives who was sitting there, ‘God, it would be good to do this live one day, wouldn’t it?’” he said. “Neither of us thought anything of it.
It’s a two-hour production that features film from the Emmy-winning documentary series on a big screen; a live, 18-piece orchestra; and narration from David Attenborough and William Shatner. And, according to Price, it’s more than just a collection of clips from the eight-part documentary that focused on how climate change is affecting all living creatures.“I didn’t want it to be just, you know, ‘Here’s a few highlights from the program. Good night,’” he said.
It’s a project Price — who won an Academy Award for “Gravity” in 2014 and an Emmy for “David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet” in 2021 — has worked on for years. He was shown some early footage two years before he actually started working on the score, which got his “brain ticking.” For months, “little folders appeared on my phone — like, here’s some ideas for ‘Our Planet.’” And whenever he was “out and about,” he said, he “started to build this stuff.
He’s particularly pleased that the plans for the live performances came to fruition — eventually. Originally, the concerts were scheduled to begin in March 2020, right when the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
