Ocean in Concert ~ Southbank, London

  • Royal Festival Hall Belvedere Road London, England, SE1 United Kingdom (map)

A live screening of the stunning nature documentary feature Ocean with David Attenborough

Ocean in Concert takes viewers on a breath-taking journey showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder or surprise, than the ocean.

In this cinematic concert event, Attenborough’s narration guides audiences through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean. The visuals are set against Academy Award-winning composer Steven Price’s (Gravity) powerful and evocative score, performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Robert Ziegler.

The celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery, and shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.

Immersive cinematography showcases the extraordinary beauty of life beneath the waves, while also confronting the urgent realities and challenges facing our seas, from destructive fishing practices to mass coral bleaching, revealed in never-before-seen footage.

Yet ultimately, this is a story of hope and optimism, with Attenborough sharing inspiring examples from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.
