Hans Zimmer Live

Hans Zimmer is probably best known for some of the most listened-to soundtracks in the history of cinema – The Lion King, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Dark Knight, Dune – but his live show is also pretty special. It features new arrangements from the Oscar-winning composer’s stellar back catalogue, recreated on stage by Zimmer himself (he’s an excellent keyboardist and plays a mean guitar) with a large orchestra and choir. He’s done sold-out shows in Dubai, including a couple this time last year, but this is hist first visit to the capital. Recommended.

There’s a second show tomorrow (1 June).
