‘An inventive, endearing, impressive show.’ The Guardian
Ayayaaaaaayyyyyhh! The wildly inventive Spaghetti Western Orchestra, one of the hits of the BBC Proms 2011, takes the stage by storm with its joyous celebration of the powerfully evocative film music of Ennio Morricone, from ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ to ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’.
Let loose on over 100 instruments, this slapstick gang dazzles with its fistful of moody and magnificent soundtracks, recreating the saloon punch-ups, gunshots and jangling spurs that define the gun-slinging West.
‘Compelling theatricality and kaleidoscopic range of moods, from slapstick hilarity to authentically creepy menace. An inspired show.’ The Scotsman
