Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert - The Film With Live Orchestra

A screening of The Muppet Christmas Carol, the 1992 film adaptation of Charles Dickens's novella, with a live orchestra performing alongside it in Glasgow.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is a 1992 film by Jim Henson's Muppets, directed by Brian Henson, that adapts Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Michael Caine plays Ebenezer Scrooge, while the Muppet performers take the roles of the Cratchit family and of the other characters, with Gonzo as Charles Dickens, who narrates the story. The film follows Scrooge's visit from the spirits on Christmas Eve and his change of heart.

This concert presents the complete film with a live orchestra playing the score in performance, so the music is heard live as the story unfolds on screen. The programme sits within the classical strand of the calendar, and the work is a family-friendly adaptation that will be familiar to audiences of all ages who know the story or the Muppets.

Glasgow Royal Concert Hall is a concert and performance venue on Sauchiehall Street in the city centre, and it hosts orchestral and theatrical events throughout the year. Those planning a visit can expect a film and orchestra performance in a hall designed for concerts.
