Riyadh is set to welcome a remarkable guest this January — Sir Anthony Hopkins, the legendary Oscar-winning actor. But this time, he’s not here to act. Instead, he’s bringing a different kind of artistry to the stage: his music.

Hopkins, known worldwide for his iconic roles in film, is also a passionate composer. For Riyadh Season, he has crafted original musical compositions that will be performed in a special concert titled “Life is a Dream.” The prestigious Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Maestro Matthew Freeman, will bring these compositions to life.

 

The event promises an evening of captivating music, blending Hopkins’ artistic vision with the orchestra’s world-class performance. It’s a rare chance to experience a unique facet of Hopkins’ creativity, as he shares his musical journey with the audience.

Mark your calendars — “Life is a Dream” takes place on Friday, January 17, 2025, at 6:30 PM. For those unable to attend in person, the concert will be broadcast live on MBC1 at 9:30 PM Saudi time.

Whether you’re a fan of Anthony Hopkins’ cinematic work or a lover of classical music, this event offers something truly special. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of a night celebrating creativity, artistry, and the universal language of music.
