Interstellar has finally arrived. Experience the film live in concert — tickets selling fast.

After sold-out shows across Europe, Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning epic comes to Australia: the complete film on the big screen, with Hans Zimmer's score performed live by a 65-piece orchestra beneath it.

Among Interstellar's five Academy Award nominations was Best Original Score, for what Hans Zimmer calls the favourite of his career. He built it around the pipe organ, and at the organ for every Australian performance is Roger Sayer, the organist Zimmer chose to record the original soundtrack.

Adelaide Convention Centre · 14 March
MCEC, Melbourne · 21 March
Sydney Opera House · 27 - 28 March

Some films are made to be played with an orchestra. Interstellar is one of them.
