Christopher Nolan's Interstellar screens in full at The O2 while the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and organist Roger Sayer play Hans Zimmer's score live.
Christopher Nolan’s Academy Award-winning film Interstellar screens in full at The O2 arena in North Greenwich on Sunday 23 May 2027, with Hans Zimmer’s score played live. The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performs under Matt Dunkley.
Released in 2014, the film follows Cooper, a former NASA astronaut played by Matthew McConaughey. He leaves a failing Earth to find out whether humanity has a future among the stars.
Zimmer’s score was nominated for an Academy Award and a BAFTA, and Zimmer has called it the best work of his career. Its organ parts were recorded by Roger Sayer, whom Zimmer chose for the original soundtrack.
Sayer plays the organ live at The O2. The film runs in its 170-minute theatrical version, and the day has two performances, a matinee and an evening show.
The production played the Royal Albert Hall in April 2026 with the same orchestra. Dunkley has worked with Zimmer before, and the tour reaches Co-op Live in Manchester two weeks earlier.
