Frozen Planet takes the audience as close as they can possibly get to visit the epic, majestic and true wilderness of the Polar Regions; this is the poles as you’ve never seen them before. This is where life thrives in the most extraordinary conditions. With the most extensive aerial filming of Antarctica ever, the series explored the greatest wilderness left on Earth.
The concert is approximately 90 minutes long, and is performed with a full symphony orchestra playing live to specially edited footage on a giant screen.
The concert is divided into two halves – the Arctic and the Antarctic. We take the audience through a journey of extreme conditions, incredible beauty and meet mystical creatures including the great Grey Owl and spend time with our very special guests – our funny and loveable friends, the Penguins. The story of Adeile penguins stealing stones received millions of hits when it was released on YouTube. The sequence sends the audience into fits of laughter, it’s infectious. You can’t help but smile.

George Fenton, creator of the Planets Trilogy, is one of the UK’s most successful composers, writing scores for over 100 films and collaborating with some of the most influential filmmakers. In 1990, he composed the score to the BBC Natural History series, Trials of Life, the start of a creative relationship that has spanned over 20 years, culminating in the trilogy of Planet concerts, winning him an Emmy, BAFTA, Classical Brit and an Ivor Novello.
The Planets Trilogy: The Blue Planet in Concert, Planet Earth in Concert and Frozen Planet in Concert, are an epic and immersive experience in the most dynamic form.
“These concerts are not only a musical phenomenon; they also provide a stunning visual and thought-provoking way of helping people to understand the oceans and the need for their protection.”
