The legendary composer Ennio Morricone will bring his “50 Years of Music – World Tour”
to The O2 on Wednesday 10 December.
The most prolific composer in the history of film music will be performing the greatest
works from his career that spans over 50 years, with a 160 member symphony orchestra
and polyphonic choir. Ennio Morricone is a five-time Oscar nominee who has scored over
500 films, the best known being the classic westerns including For A Few Dollars More
and The Good The Bad and the Ugly, as well as other iconic movies such as: The Untouchables,
The Mission, Cinema Paradiso and more recently Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained and before
that Kill Bill.
Last year Morricone won the European Film Award for Best Composer for his score to
the movie The Best Offer.Morricone is the only composer ever to win the prestigious honorary
Oscar award (2007) in recognition of his “magnificent and multifaceted contributions to the art of film music.”
He was also nominated for a further five Oscars throughout his career and has won two Grammy Awards,
two Golden Globes, five BAFTAs, seven David di Donatello Award, eight Nastro d'Argento Awards
as well as the Polar Music Prize.
In 2009 the President of France bestowed him with the prestigeous Legion d’honneur.
Esteemed by legendary figures in music such as Quincy Jones and contemporary film
directors as Martin Scorsese, Ennio Morricone is an iconic contemporary composer of our time.

im thinking about it. havin seen him 5 times the cost becomes a question. however as this is likely to be his final tour, im inclined and tempted to be there. and use the chance to meet up with a few fellow collectors.
if indeed it goes ahead of course. You can nevr book a ticket for Morricone concert and know its going ahead until you take your seat in the auditorium and The Rome Sinfonietta is warming up. Last years collapse from exhaustion and no food and this months fall from podium does rather point to telling the old boy its time to preserve his energy for writing, recording, and pacing himself.
just my opinion.

My nearest and dearest booked to see the tennis at the O2 a few years ago (around the end of November of that year). A blizzard a day or two earlier threw the country into chaos, so she had to cancel, losing her booking money plus East Coast Line rail fare -- a tidy sum! A relatively rare weather event for that time of year, to be sure, but it tends to make you wary. I'll keep my fingers crossed for everyone who's booked and needs to do some travelling to get there.
Thanks, Les. There's oceans worth of water to pass under the bridge before December, so I'm just going to forget about it now until the tickets arrive in November!
Hi, Chris. Any early-to-mid December since then would have been no problem, so the odds are good for you.
Fingers crossed.
By the way, the girls send their best to you and M.

Thanks, Chris. We were just wondering the other day how they're doing. I'll email. (I whistled FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE while I typed, just to keep the post on-topic -- honest, guv!)
