Christmas in Dublin: Extra matinee show announced for Home Alone in Concert

Thanks to overwhelming demand, an extra matinee show has added to Home Alone in Concert.

Fans can watch the Christmas classic on the big screen accompanied by a live orchestra and a choir.

The score will be performed live by The Orchestra of Ireland with over 100 performers on December 1 at the Convention Centre.

The matinee show takes place at 3pm and tickets are priced from €28 on Ticketmaster.

Synopsis for the film reads: “Macaulay Culkin stars as Kevin McCallister, an 8-year-old boy who's accidentally left behind when his family leaves for Christmas vacation, and who must defend his home against two bungling thieves.

“Hilarious and heart-warming, Home Alone is holiday fun for the entire family and comes to Ireland for the first time this Christmas.”

Home Alone music composer, John Williams, said: “Ever since Home Alone appeared, it has held a unique place in the affections of a very broad public.

“Director Chris Columbus brought a uniquely fresh and innocent approach to this delightful story, and the film has deservedly become a perennial at Holiday time.

“I took great pleasure in composing the score for the film, and I am especially delighted that the magnificent Orchestra of Ireland has agreed to perform the music in this very special live presentation of the movie.

“I know I speak for everyone connected with the making of the film in saying that we are greatly honoured by this event… and I hope that the audience will experience the renewal of joy that the film brings with it, each and every year.”
