Brought to you by a Oscar­ winning ​and Grammy Award ­nominated team​, whose visual effects work includes Gravity​, ​Avatar ​​and The Golden Compass.

Symphony to a Lost Generation is the world’s first fully holographic production, a moving depiction of the human tragedy of the First World War. 250 actors and dancers, Including bad boy of ballet - Sergie Polunin,​ Natalia Osipova - Principal dancer with The Royal Ballet (Their first appearance together), Ernesto Tomasini, appear beside the Vienna Philharmonic Choir, New London Children’s Choir and Lithuanian State Symphony Orchestra in Adam Donen’s epic symphony and drama. Its scale and imagination is like nothing you’ve experienced. This is theatre as has never been seen before.

Holograms have been used to bring Michael Jackson back to life and allowed Kate Moss to spend a month as part of the Alexander McQueen exhibition: never have they formed the basis of a full stage production until now. Transnational World War 1 epic Symphony to a Lost Generation is the world’s first fully holographic stage production: a visual and aural spectacular with a new symphony by virtuoso young composer Adam Donen at its centre.

The show is a moving depiction of the human tragedy of the First World War. The holograms allow an intensity otherwise impossible on stage. An emotional dramatic and musical expression of a time long past in a form impossible any time but now, produced by an Oscar-winning and Grammy-nominated team.

Fusing classical music, dance, drama and archival film, Symphony to a Lost Generation is a 3D audio-visual holographic spectacular. It is an emotional and comprehensive artistic treatment of the First World War that presents both the monumental (Gallipoli, the Somme) and deeply personal, treating the entire conflict as the stories of individuals: their passions, their hopes and their struggles.
