Batman (1989) is an iconic film, and more than 30 years after its premiere it continues to captivate audiences across the globe. On January 20 a live orchestra will perform Danny Elfman’s iconic, Gotham-defining score during a screening of Batman at the Straz Center.
Tickets aren’t on sale just yet (unless you can score the presale code), but you can follow Straz Center’s calendar to see when the public on-sale begins.

Director Tim Burton’s Batman may be responsible for the proliferation of superhero films that seem to dominate the multiplexes. Michael Keaton’s Caped Crusader (a role he reprised in this summer’s The Flash) is appropriately brooding and revenge-driven, while Jack Nicholson’s Joker set a standard for comic book villains that few have come close to matching.
This might be the concert of the year for us. Straz Center will also host a family-friendly film in concert on November 25. Coco in Concert brings Disney’s Pixar hit to vibrant life once again. Tickets will go on sale soon on the venue’s website.
Disney Pixar’s COCO explored Day of the Dead traditions, the importance of family, and the wonder of music. The film follows Miguel as he sorts out his family’s history and tries to return to the land of the living. The score was composed by the Emmy®, Oscar® and Grammy®-winning composer Michael Giacchino. See Coco on a massive screen with the score performed live by the 20-piece Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de México, conducted by Esin Aydingoz.
