Ben-Hur
Yesterday, I had the great chance to visit the philharmonics of Luxembourg for the first time. My parents didn’t have the time to visit “Ben-Hur” played by the “Orchestre Philharmique du Luxembourg”, so Simon went with me.
This concert was one part of their project «Live Cinema» . Silent movies are set to their original soundtracks by the orchester. The movie Ben-Hur: A tale of Christ is from 1925 and it is a silent movie production, where about 125.000 actors took part. The music played by the orchester was terrific, and it was nice to get an idea of how movies are set to music (or music is set to movies). And, for me, it was the first movie where Jesus is demoted to a water-boy.
