Welcome to Berk.
No, not the small town in western New South Wales where the summer temperature always seems to be above 40.
That’s Bourke.
Berk is “12 days north of Hopeless and a few degrees short of freezing to death. Most places only have mice or mosquitoes. We have… Dragons!”
We certainly do! We also have the Sydney Symphony Orchestra under the baton of conductor, you guessed it, Maestro Nicholas Buc.
It’s How to Train Your Dragon and it’s in concert at the Sydney Opera House.
I have to admit that I’d never seen the movie before, despite it being in our movie library. But teenage Alex has. What’s more, he has songs from John Powell’s score in his mostly non-orchestral playlist, so How to Train Your Dragon in Concert is a great opportunity to bring the whole family along again.
English composer John Powell has written music for a number of other animated features, including Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and the Australian made Happy Feet series, along with the live action Jason Bourne movies and my favourite, Solo: A Star Wars Story.
The Opera House’s concert hall is absolutely packed for the sold out Saturday matinee performance. How to Train Your Dragon is a huge family favourite and there are many parents and children in the audience. We sit six rows back from the stage, dead centre, with excellent views of the conductor and strings (Hey Nick, look down, you might see a familiar face!). Behind the orchestra, larger than usual with a much expanded percussion section, is the big screen which will show the movie as the orchestra plays.
A roar goes up as the Universal logo and fanfare is played and we enter the animated world of vikings and dragons and an action packed overture introduces the leitmotifs for the main characters, including a love theme for Astrid, protagonist Hiccup’s love interest, and the dragons themselves.
The music is loud, it’s brash, full of string ostinatos, wood winds, synthesised choir and bagpipes played at a furious pace as the action unfolds on the screen. But there are tender moments too. Forbidden Friendship, where Hiccup befriends Toothless, the fearsome Night Fury dragon, is a gorgeous, playful piece with marimba, harp and percussion that brought a tear to my eye with its beauty.
Then we have the soaring Test Drive, the signature music for the movie, as Hiccup and Toothless take to the skies together.
The score also invokes some Celtic fiddle with the associate concertmaster, Harry Bennetts, providing the spirited solos, his delight obvious in the performance.
After a tough past few weeks at work and school, this is the perfect movie and the perfect score for weekend enjoyment. Easy to watch and listen to, but with enough depth to keep you interested and emotionally involved.
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra does stunning job of performing the score, the sound is rich and full, and Maestro Buc his usual sterling work keeping them to time and sharing the music with the audience. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard the Sydney audience applaud as loudly as they did today, but it was richly deserved.
The people of Berk may be tasteless, but the people of Sydney weren’t and today they too had dragons.
