See James Bond with a live orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall

2022 marks 60 years of James Bond on the silver screen, and the Royal Albert Hall is celebrating in suitably spectacular style. This month, the iconic venue presents a triple bill of Bond films in concert, with none other than the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra performing the score live to picture.

It all begins on Thursday 17 November with Casino Royale in Concert. The next day, it's time for Skyfall in Concert. Then, on Saturday 19 November and Sunday 20 November, there are three screenings of Spectre to choose from, including two matinees. These blockbusters were meant to be seen on the big screen, and the Royal Albert Hall's jewel of an auditorium — as much of a British icon as Bond himself — really adds to the sense of occasion, as does the world-class orchestral accompaniment.

So, if you fancy a next-level cinematic experience that'll leave you well and truly stirred (though hopefully not shaken), you know what to do. Tickets are available via the big blue button.
