The Music
of Hans Zimmer
29 July 2023 (Saturday)
Live & Open Air in the castle courtyard. A unique concert evening for all fans of cinema, film and Hollywood. The unique film music experience "The Music Of Hans Zimmer & Others" brings the symphonic world of star composer Hans Zimmer to Hohenzollern Castle with music from "The Lion King", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Gladiator", "Dark Knight", "Inception" or "Interstellar", among others - performed by the Hollywood Symphonic Orchestra and Choir with the participation of soprano Johanna Krumin. The audience also learns interesting background stories, such as how Hans Zimmer completely changed the beginning of "Gladiator" with Ridley Scott and smuggled a message against apartheid into the lyrics for "The Lion King" in the local language, telling the big Disney company that it was about butterflies. Hans Zimmer often cited Ennio Morricone as his idol and role model, from whose repertoire excerpts from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in America" will be heard.
