London’s Royal Albert Hall reopens its doors soon as the UK’s lockdown rules are finally lifted.

And one of this summer’s big names will be none other than Superman himself!

Continuing the Royal Albert Hall’s hugely popular Films in Concert series, 1978’s classic Superman movie will be played in high-definition on the big screen.

It’ll be accompanied by John Williams’ iconic original score, performed live by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra.

Originally set to take place last year, Superman in Concert is now scheduled for Friday 16th July at 7.30pm and tickets are on sale now.

Directed by Richard Donner, and showcasing a young Christopher Reeve, Superman features a star-studded cast including Margot Kidder as intrepid reporter Lois Lane, Gene Hackman as the villainous Lex Luthor, and the inimitable Marlon Brando as Jor-El.

Donner’s beloved film adaptation relays the inspiring origins of Superman, from his narrow escape as an infant from the doomed planet Krypton, to his formative years on a farm in Smallville, Kansas, and finally to his arrival in Metropolis, where he leads dual lives as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent and as the mythical ‘Man of Steel’.

Superman is rated PG, and the approximate running time will be 141 minutes, plus a 25 minute interval.

The movie will be shown with full original dialogue, which will also be subtitled.
