«The Holiday» – in Concert by Zimmer, H., De (2024/2024), KKL Luzern, Lucerna, Suíça

With "The Holiday", acclaimed director Nancy Meyers tells the story of two women whose next vacation will bring more than just relaxation. Amanda (Cameron Diaz) and Iris (Kate Winslet) have never met and live their own lives 6,000 miles apart. But one day, they get to know each other online on a home exchange website and spontaneously agree on such an apartment dive for the upcoming holidays. Iris moves into Amanda's home in Los Angeles, sunny California, while Amanda settles into Iris' cozy abode in snow-covered rural England. Shortly after arriving at their destination, both women find the last thing they wished for or expected: a new romance with Miles (Jack Black) and Graham (Jude Law) respectively. Since its cinema debut in 2006, Universal Pictures' "The Holiday" has established itself as a winter and holiday classic. Hans Zimmer's film music also contributes to this, combining everything from dreamy, light-footed piano and guitar playing to romantically languishing strings to atmospheric jazz and pop sounds, which makes the sparks fly in the romantic comedy "The Holiday". While "The Holiday" shines on the big screen, the 50-piece City Light Symphony Orchestra plays the atmospheric film music by Hans Zimmer and the pop song melodies live and with pinpoint accuracy.
