Just when you thought we couldn’t love the nation’s grandpa any more, there’s exciting news
Next year, Ocean with David Attenborough, his latest documentary, will be shown at London’s Royal Festival Hall in a spectacular live concert screening.
Released in May to mark Sir David Attenborough’s 99th birthday, the documentary charts his lifelong journey of ocean discovery. Co-director Toby Nowlan called it “the greatest message he’s ever told,” highlighting rare footage that captures both the beauty of marine ecosystems and the scale of the threats they face, from destructive fishing to mass coral bleaching.
It’s not all doom and gloom though. Despite the stark warnings, Attenborough delivers a note of optimism, emphasising that the ocean has the capacity to recover more quickly than previously imagined.
As Sir David enters his 100th year, audiences can dive back into the documentary, only this time on the big screen with a live soundtrack. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra will perform Steven Price’s captivating score live in perfect time with the visuals creating an immersive experience not to be missed.
If you’re hoping to be there, you’ll need to move quickly when tickets go on sale Friday 3rd October and they’re bound to go quick.
