Presented in English with French subtitles

The National Arts Centre Orchestra presents Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, featuring Klaus Badelt and Hans Zimmer’s score performed live to the film.

Oscar and Grammy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer and his production team have scored each Pirates of the Caribbean adventure for the franchise. The original score raised the bar for thematic complexity with its orchestral swashbuckling flavour accentuated by the use of horns for melody.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is based on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at Disney Parks and is the first installment of the film series. Set in the 18th century, Captain Jack Sparrow is roguish yet charming as he sails the Caribbean on his ship, the Black Pearl. But Jack’s idyllic life capsizes when his nemesis, the wily Captain Barbossa, steals Jack’s ship and later attacks the town of Port Royal, kidnapping the Governor’s beautiful daughter, Elizabeth Swann. Elizabeth’s childhood friend, Will Turner, joins forces with Jack in a gallant attempt to rescue her and recapture the Black Pearl. Unbeknownst to Will, whose father once served with the crew of the Black Pearl, there is a curse that has doomed Barbossa and his men to live forever as the undead.
