BBC Studios has announced the Australian premiere of Sir David Attenborough’s Blue Planet II: Live In Concert documentary series on the world’s oceans, which will hit Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in March 2019.
With live narration from English actress and TV personality Joanna Lumley in her first-ever Aussie stage appearance, the shows will see the series’ original music score (by Hans Zimmer, Jacob Shea and David Fleming) performed live by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and Queensland Symphony Orchestra respectively, as clips from the series are projected on a 75 square metre 4K Ultra HD LED screen.
In the four years it took to film Blue Planet II, the series’ creators travelled to 39 countries and filmed across every continent and ocean, to capture some of the most incredible ocean footage the world has ever seen.
“I am thrilled to be coming to Australia for my stage debut hosting the breathtaking ‘Blue Planet II: Live in Concert’,” says Joanna Lumley. “This incredible concert experience is not to be missed and I cannot wait to see you there.”
