The World of Hans Zimmer

a Symphonic celebration – Curated by Hans Zimmer – the official live tribute

In collaboration with Oscar winning composer Hans Zimmer Michael Balgavy created the production design and video design for the international concert tour „The World of Hans Zimmer – A Symphonic Celebration”.

The premiere of the first edition took place in Berlin’s sold out Mercedes Benz arena in April 2018 with the Hans Zimmer on stage. Since then it is touring through the world with huge success–counting over a million guests. Hans Zimmer himself makes surprise visits on stage such as London‘s O2 Arena, Madrid‘s Teatro Real or Vienna’s Konzerthaus.

A full scale orchestra, band and choir conducted by Gavin Greenaway are accompanied with 7 individual LED walls setting the tone for an immersive journey through Hollywood's biggest and smallest blockbusters like Inception, The Pirates of the Caribbeans, The Dark Knight, Lion King, The Da Vinci Code, Gladiator or Rush and The Holiday.

2024 saw a new edition of the beloved concert with an updated set from movies like Dune, Interstellar, The Prince of Egypt or James Bond.

Featuring:

GAVIN GREENAWAY, LISA GERRARD, VALENTINA NAFOR-NITA, PEDRO EUSTACHE, RUSANDA PANFILI, MARIE SPAEMANN, AMIR JOHN HADDAD, ELIANE CORREA, JUAN GARCIA-HERREROS, LUCY LANDY-MORE, ALEKSANDRA ŠUKLAR, LUIS RIBEIRO

“You made poetry out of it.”
— Hans Zimmer
Captivating would be the perfect word to describe the show thanks to the incredibly talented orchestra and singers, the set, the lighting, and the multimedia experience which saw stunning visual projections of film sequences played alongside with music.
— Guardian (Warrington)
Die gesamte Bühnen- und Lichtdramaturgie war diesmal homogener auf das musikalische Geschehen abgestimmt ... eine echte Bereicherung der Show.
— BR-Klassik
Im Hintergrund laufen dankenswerterweise keine Ausschnitte (die langweiligste Art, Filmmusik für Konzerte zu bebildern), sondern Visuals, die sich nach dem Klang richten.
— Musikexpress
Die Show ist perfekt, die Besetzung hochkarätig, die Emotionen sind groß.
— Leipziger Volkszeitung
Massive Ästhetik
— Neue Presse
Gut inszeniert
— Hannoversche Allgemeine
Zimmers Musik ist gemacht für die große Leinwand – und diese Leinwand ist gemacht für große Musik.
— SHZ
