Orchestra works its magic

The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra will perform the entire score of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire live as the film plays on a large, high-definition screen at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on Saturday, September 14. In the fourth instalment of the ASO’s popular live performances of the Harry Potter films, conductor Joshua Tan leads the orchestra in a soaring rendition of Patrick Doyle’s score. When Harry’s name emerges from the Goblet of Fire, he becomes a competitor in a gruelling battle for glory between three wizarding schools — the Triwizard Tournament.

At Space Theatre from September 12 to 20, Windmill Theatre presents Girl Asleep — the play that went on to become an award-winning film. Frozen in the spotlight of her 15^th birthday, things go from bad to worse for Greta Driscoll when a stranger arrives, propelling her into a parallel world of mayhem and adventure. For ages 14 and up, Girl Asleep comes back to the South Australian stage for the first time since its debut in 2014.
