MSO 2012 – Doctor Who: Symphonic Spectacular
February 4, 2012
Melbourne, Australia

Perhaps the most recognized sci fi theme music today has been through many incarnations since it was first produced in the 60s and it’s hardly any surprise that when the first Doctor Who orchestral event was held in the UK it was a tremendous success. Doctor Who at the Proms has become a much anticipated event for those in the UK but now fans in Australia can get their fix too!
For the first time ever Australians will be treated to a Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular performed by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra featuring the music of Murray Golds from the Matt Smith’s seasons of Doctor Who. Ben Foster who conducts the music used in the series and features in the Doctor Who live performances in the UK will be travelling to Australia to lead the orchestra.
The musical celebration will feature specially produced video projected onto large screens and a host of live monsters including Darleks, Cybermen and The Silence will invade the audience.
American actor Mark Sheppard who has guest starred in two episodes of the latest season of Doctor Who (and has also appeared in pretty much every science fiction franchise at some time or another) is travelling to Australia to host the event.
There will be just two performances in Australia, both held in Melbourne on Saturday February 4th, the first at 2pm and then again at 7pm at the Plenary Hall, Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Limited tickets are still available via TicketMaster | 2pm performance | 7pm performance |
