Home Alone in Concert

A concert built around Home Alone, the 1990 Christmas comedy directed by Chris Columbus, staged at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester.

Home Alone is the 1990 comedy directed by Chris Columbus, in which a boy left behind at home over Christmas defends the house against two burglars. Columbus also directed the sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. The film's score was written by John Williams, whose screen credits include the music for Star Wars and Jaws.

This concert takes the film as its subject, with the story and its music at the centre of the evening. The event is held at Bridgewater Hall, a concert and performance venue on Lower Mosley Street in central Manchester, which is also the home of the Hallé orchestra.

The night suits anyone who knows the 1990 film and its seasonal story, and those drawn to John Williams's film scoring. It is a good match for a festive outing with an existing attachment to the film.
