Event #1. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in Concert
E.T. is a classic sci-fi/adventure film with universal appeal. The beloved 1982 Academy Award-winning movie by Steven Spielberg also won the award for Best Music by composer John Williams, and on this closing night of the Naples International Film Festival (NIFF) you can relive the magic of the movie on the silver screen set to a live performance of the film’s original score by the Naples Philharmonic—led by Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly. Imagine this engaging drama accompanied by the flourishes of a soaring soundtrack come-to-life to create an immersive experience and an unforgettable night!
