The Matrix Live

Experience The Matrix Live in 2020 as part of the Royal Albert Hall’s Films in Concert series, following its hugely popular 2011 season.

Deemed to have played a ground-breaking role in the development of the sci-fi genre, visionary cult classic The Matrix (1999) deals with a subject of concern to millions at the turn of millennium: the border between reality and the virtual world.

Keanu Reeves stars as Neo, a hacker who is contacted by a mysterious underground organisation. The leader of the group, wanted terrorist Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), lets him in on a terrible secret: reality as we know it is just an illusory world. In reality, people have long been controlled by a sinister virtual power – the Matrix, whose agents already have their sights on Neo.

Watch as composer Don Davis himself conducts his iconic original score live on stage and listen as the innovative balance between spoken word, sound effects and magnificent orchestral sound combine to create an emotive experience, epitomising the clash between the natural and the virtual world.
