Frodo, Gandalf, Legolas and the rest of the heroes from Middle-earth are returning to the big screen Saturday night, accompanied by a full symphony orchestra, for “The Lord of the Rings In Concert: The Fellowship of the Ring.”
The performance features Howard Shore’s complete Oscar- and Grammy-winning score, performed live in front of a screening of the first film in the trilogy, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.” The event, Oct. 15 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, also includes a traveling display of props from the films, on loan from Troika Brodsky, a fan and memorabilia collector. Among the props are Frodo’s sword Sting, Samwise’s furry Hobbit feet and the Shards of Narsil.
More than 200 musicians from the Munich Symphony Orchestra, the Pacific Chorale and the Phoenix Boys Choir will perform, led by Maestro Ludwig Wicki. The event is part of a nine-city West Coast tour and a 10-year anniversary celebration of “The Lord of the Rings” film trilogy. Similar events for the second two films, “The Two Towers” and “The Return of the King,” are scheduled for 2012 and 2013.

[For the record, 5:38 p.m. Oct. 12: A previous version of the gallery above included several props that will not be touring with "The Lord of the Rings In Concert: The Fellowship of the Ring." Those images have been removed. Also, several photos provided by collector Troika Brodsky were incorrectly credited. The captions have been corrected.]

Saw this a couple years ago at Wolf Trap in Northern Virginia. The soloists of the choir are insane.
oh my god i would die to go to this
Will they have Emiliana Torrini there to sing "Gollum's Song"? That would justify a cross-country plane ticket.
I cant wait!!! We are going saturday night… I will be wearing my Frodo ears that I ordered from weta workshop.
The concert in San Diego had lots of fans in costume cheering and responding both to the characters in the movie and the Orchestra and Choirs on stage. Bring it on LA !! It's a totally great experience!! See all you Hobbits, Orks and Ringwaithes at the Honda Center tonight !!
