Seven planets, seven impressions. The concept is as simple as it is genius: Gustav Holst created his own big bang by giving a voice to the planets and their influence on the human psyche. During these planetarium concerts, music and imagery merge into an extraordinary cosmic experience.

-----

In seven masterful tone poems, Holst reveals the true colors of these mysterious celestial bodies: no longer just spheres of molten rock or swirling gas, but characters in a cosmic drama. The Planets became a global hit and the ultimate blueprint for modern film music.

To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Royal Observatory, The Planets resounds where music and the cosmos collide: the Planetarium. Eight projectors transform the giant 23-meter dome into a spectacular window onto the universe. An immersive journey takes you past distant planets, deep into the starry night sky. A unique experience that literally and figuratively gives Holst's music wings.
