Prepare for an unforgettable evening of intrigue, action, and breathtaking music as the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra performs the complete soundtrack of Skyfall live to film. This first-ever live-orchestra-to-film event being held at the magnificent Mediterranean Conference Centre, promises to captivate cinema and music enthusiasts alike.  

On 15 February 2025, for one day only, the MCC’s Republic Hall will undergo an extraordinary transformation. A 90-piece orchestra will occupy the entire stalls section, while a massive screen on stage brings the iconic Bond movie, Skyfall, to life. Under the baton of Ryan Paul Abela, the orchestra will perform Thomas Newman’s Oscar winning score, seamlessly synchronized with the on-screen action.  

Produced internationally by Film Concerts Live! in association with EON Productions and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (MGM), this spectacular event is being brought to Malta by Scrolls Productions, and supported by VisitMalta.  

Directed by Sam Mendes, Skyfall remains the highest-grossing James Bond film of all time, earning over $1 billion worldwide. With five Academy Award nominations and two wins, the film follows James Bond (Daniel Craig) as he confronts the menacing Silva (Javier Bardem). For the first time, this gripping narrative will be elevated by a live orchestral performance of its iconic score.  

Conductor Ryan Paul Abela shares his excitement:  

“This performance is an extraordinary fusion of live music and cinema. Bringing Skyfall to life with a full orchestra amplifies the drama, suspense, and emotional depth of every moment. With the music becoming a character in its own right, this promises to be an electrifying experience for everyone in attendance.”  

There will be two performances in one day. The matinee performance will be a more relaxed affair, where people can feel like they’re going on a normal cinema outing. The evening performance however, will see the audience dressed to the nines in tuxedoes and evening wear and will also include a pre-concert red carpet event with drinks, canapés and live music.
