Following
the incredible success of the BAFTA award-winning
BBC One television series Blue Planet II,
presented by Sir David Attenborough, BBC Studios, and FKP Scorpio are proud to present a 13 date UK live tour, which
will bring the wonders and mysteries of the planet’s oceans and wildlife to the
UK arena stage.
Blue Planet II – Live
In Concert – will
present a selection of stunning visuals from the television series,
highlighting the incredible natural wonders of our blue planet in breath-taking
detail, projected on a state of the art 200 square metre 4K Ultra HD LED screen. Accompanied by the original immersive
music score by Bleeding Fingers Music, the concert will be performed live by a
full symphony orchestra.
A
fantastical journey from icy polar seas to pulsating coral reefs, from the
luminous deep sea to enormous kelp forests: immerse yourself with Blue Planet II – Live In Concert, a
simply breath-taking and epic show that you will never forget.
The UK arena tour is a live adaptation of
a television story that began some 20 years ago when a team of wildlife
filmmakers from the BBC’s Natural History Unit set out to make a television
series on the world’s oceans, the breadth and
scale of which had never been seen before. Broadcast in 2001, the multi award-winning The Blue Planet, narrated by Sir David Attenborough, cemented the
Unit’s peerless reputation for underwater filming.
Now,
a generation later, the Natural History Unit has
once again dived deep into the blue underworld, providing the audience with a
completely new perspective on our oceans, coasts and coral ecosystems - full of
mystery, surprise, and startling
revelations. With the help of groundbreaking
advancements in research and technology, the BBC One landmark series has not only presented the viewer with
spectacular images but the public reaction to the series has raised awareness
of how fragile our planet and environment has become from plastic contaminants
and demonstrated the power of television to make an impact on society. The live
concert adaptation is an extension of that striking visual and environmental
narrative.
During
the four-year filming of Blue Planet II, the teams embarked on 125 expeditions,
travelled to 39 countries, filmed on all
continents and in every ocean. They spent 6,000 hours deep-sea diving, 1,000 of
which were on underwater boats. Logistically, some of these expeditions could
be compared to a trip into space – such was the effort. In the process, the
camera teams encountered creatures that appeared so strange that they really
did seem to come from a different planet.
Revolutionary
technology provided insights that the makers of the original series could never
have imagined. With the help of endoscopic, low-light, towed and suction
cameras, as well as diving robots and the latest underwater equipment, the
camera teams ventured into the sea for longer and much deeper than ever before.
This allowed them not only to enter new (underwater) worlds but also to discover new species and observe the previously
unknown behaviour of the seas’
inhabitants.
Mat Way, Global Director,
Live Entertainment at BBC Studios adds, ‘We are
delighted to partner with FKP Scorpio for Blue Planet II Live in
Concert. It is an incredible concept bringing the
BBC’s groundbreaking footage from a BAFTA award-winning
series to the UK arena stage for fans to enjoy.
