Metropolis
Directed by Fritz Lang
Music by Gottfried Huppertz

Covent Garden Sinfonia
Ben Palmer conductor

Set in a futuristic urban dystopia, Fritz Lang's German Expressionist silent film Metropolis is widely regarded as one of the most entertaining and influential sci-fi movies of all time. Made with an extraordinary budget of five million Reichsmarks, the film was shot over 310 days, with 36,000 extras and 200,000 costumes. This performance will be the UK premiere of a new edition of Gottfried Huppertz's richly romantic original 1927 score, arranged Hans Brandner and Ben Palmer, one of the world's leading silent film conductors.
