Star Wars composer John Williams is reported to have been made one of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s very last knights, with the honour one of the final awards approved by the late monarch before her death a fortnight ago.
Festive favourite Home Alone to be shown on screen with a full live orchestra playing the score
06.09.2022 - 15:39 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without Home Alone, and while talk of the festive period in September might be triggering for some, events are starting to move into the holiday calendar already. As such, the classic Macaulay Culkin caper will be heading to the Opera House in November.
As a pre-festive night out to get you in the mood, the John Hughes movie will be shown on screen, but with a live orchestra playing the classic John Williams score along with the action. It’s the first time the movie has toured featuring a full orchestra backing.
The Manchester date of Home Alone in Concert happens on November 27, with further dates confirmed for Birmingham, Glasgow and Nottingham. Tickets will go on sale via Ticketmaster at 10am on September 9.
The movie is a holiday season staple, with Culkin playing the eight-year-old Kevin McCallister, who accidentally gets left at home while his family head off on a Christmas trip to Paris. While initially revelling in his independence, he’s soon besieged by the infamous Wet Bandits, local burglars who have targeted the McCallister home.
But thanks to a series of increasingly inventive - and brutally painful - slapstick traps, he does battle with the bandits, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, before his parents realise their mistake and rush back to Chicago.
The movie spawned the sequel Home Alone 2: Lost In New York in 1992, and a slew of less successful sequels, and a reboot Home Sweet Home Alone last year, which was mauled by critics.

Venice Film Festival Blocks Question for Olivia Wilde About Shia LaBeouf at ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ Press Conference
Naman Ramachandran The Venice Film Festival blocked a journalist from asking a question about Shia LaBeouf at a press conference for Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” on Monday. LaBeouf was set to star in “Don’t Worry Darling,” but he exited the project in the fall of 2020 and was replaced by Harry Styles. The back and forth between Wilde and Styles about what exactly happened next has been making headlines prior to the film’s Venice world premiere. After Wilde had told Variety in a cover story that LaBeouf’s process “was not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions,” the actor denied that he was fired, saying that he “quit the film due to lack of rehearsal time.”
