Get ready for a truly unique – one might say otherworldly – experience!

The 10-year-old lead character Elliot and his lonely little alien’s adventure has captivated cinema lovers for generations, but now it will come to life in a new dimension on the stage of the Margaret Island Open-Air Theatre: John Williams’ Oscar-winning film score will be performed live by a full symphonic orchestra, perfectly synchronized with the scenes unfolding on the big screen.
"I grew up with Johnny from the very beginning. What he did for me, I can’t even comprehend," said Spielberg about the legendary composer John Williams. Over the past 50 years, the duo has created world-renowned films together, such as Jaws, Jurassic Park, and E.T.
For this work, John Williams received an Oscar, and rightfully so. His wonderful, soaring music opens new dimensions in the listener's heart, freeing and uplifting them. The music of E.T.’s flying scene is a breathtaking musical creation in itself, one of the most beloved, significant, and iconic works in the film music genre.
