Mystery Ensemble about the programme:
— 'On this beautiful evening, you will feel like the heroes of Tolkien’s fantastic universe, where elves, orcs, hobbits and dwarves live! Imagine: a chamber hall, the authentic sound of motifs from soundtracks… Fabulous, isn’t it? There are rumours that various film composers, having heard «The Lord of the Rings» in our performance, strenuously began composing soundtracks for other films — hoping that someday we will also perform them! We decided that we would think about it.Don’t believe the rumours — come and make sure that the music of «The Lord of the Rings» in our performance is as exciting as the film itself!’
