Star Wars fra musica e scienza Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano
Luca Perri | Astrophysicist and science communicator
Giovanni Marziliano | Conductor

A symphonic journey through distant galaxies, science and the magic of cinema.

In 1977, the world was catapulted into a distant galaxy, populated by exotic planets, futuristic technologies and a mysterious force that binds every living being. With Star Wars, cinematic science fiction ignited the imagination of millions of people, but also the curiosity of scientists. How much truth is there in science fiction? Can we really build a lightsaber? Are there planets similar to Tatooine? Is it possible to travel through hyperspace? And above all: to what extent is science inspired by fantasy?

Guiding the audience at the Teatro Grande on this journey through science and science fiction will be Luca Perri, astrophysicist and science communicator, accompanied by the powerful and unforgettable music of John Williams, performed by the Milan Symphony Orchestra. His epic and timeless compositions have not only given voice to the Star Wars universe, but have become an integral part of the collective imagination, capable of evoking emotions and visions that go beyond the screen.
