Join your SLSO and embark on a swashbuckling adventure filled with romance, wit, and daring duels in The Princess Bride: Live in Concert at Stifel Theatre on June 16 & 18. Experience one of the most beloved films of all time as never before—with the power of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra performing the entire musical score live-to-picture.
Directed by Rob Reiner, The Princess Bride features an all-star cast in this romantic tale of the beautiful maiden, Buttercup, and her one true love, Westley. After he’s captured by a ruthless pirate and presumed dead, Buttercup’s unhappy marriage to the horrible Prince Humperdinck seems inevitable. But before the wedding can take place, she’s kidnapped by three outlaws and it’s up to a mysterious Man in Black to come to her rescue.
Now for the first time, composer Mark Knopfler’s unforgettable score has been specially arranged for a symphony orchestra. Join the SLSO at Stifel Theatre and be musically transported to the whimsical land of Florin, where love conquers all. Missing this cinematic concert experience would be inconceivable!
