La La Land in Concert to Premiere at Venice Film Festival

The 83rd Venice International Film Festival – La Biennale de Venezia will commemorate the 10th anniversary of Damien Chazelle’s critically acclaimed film La La Land with a special concert event titled La La Land in Concert. The event is presented in collaboration with Lionsgate and Hurwitz Concerts, and will feature a live musical performance of the film’s award-winning soundtrack alongside a screening of the movie on the iconic stage of Teatro La Fenice.

La La Land, which made its world premiere in Venice ten years ago, has become one of the most beloved musicals in cinema history. The film, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a pianist and actress who follow their passion and achieve success in their fields, but find themselves torn between their love for each other and their careers, has been nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won six, including Best Original Score and Best Actress for Stone.

The event will be conducted by Justin Hurwitz, who won the Oscar for the film’s original score, and will feature the Orchestra Regionale Filarmonia Veneta, joined by pianist Randy Kerber, who performed on the original soundtrack recording. Chazelle, who won an Oscar for directing the movie, will also be in attendance.

‘To conduct an orchestra along with La La Land, in Venice where the world first saw La La Land ten years ago, is an absolute dream come true,’ says Hurwitz. The special presentation of La La Land in Concert continues Maison Cartier’s support for the work of Fondazione Teatro la Fenice, and its upcoming season of opera, ballet, and concerts.

La La Land in Concert will take place on the iconic stage of Teatro La Fenice on the opening night of the festival, with tickets going on sale on August 4. The event is free of charge, thanks to the support of Maison Cartier.

The concert will be the final stop of Hurwitz’s tour, which has already sold out in Los Angeles at the Greek Theatre on August 1. Lionsgate is re-releasing the movie on August 16, and a La La Land stage play is currently in development for Broadway, produced by Wicked producer Marc Platt.
