Prepare for fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love and miracles — with a symphonic twist. In this special cinematic concert event, Principal Pops Conductor Jack Everly leads the Naples Philharmonic in a live performance of Mark Knopfler’s score as The Princess Bride screens above the stage. Whether you’re watching for the hundredth time or introducing someone new to the world of Florin, this is The Princess Bride as you’ve never seen it before. Relive every inconceivable moment — from duels and battles of wits to rodents of unusual size and mostly dead miracles — brought to life with the power of a full orchestra. A storybook legend for fans of all ages, this swashbuckling concert reminds us all that some stories — especially those brimming with true love and great music — are simply too good to outgrow.
It's a perfect wrap to your Naples International Film Festival experience.
Tickets start at $39.
