Whether it’s cut-throat battles for survival, quiet moments of hypnotic beauty or tender tales of tragedy, the Blue Planet series has a magical way of connecting us to the underwater worlds that seem so out of reach. Now, Blue Planet III is on its way, and it promises even more remarkable stories, with cutting-edge advances in camera technology providing a new gateway to previously undiscovered events and animal behaviours.
What better way to witness these wonders than at Blue Planet III: Live in Concert, where massive 4K ultra-high-definition LED screens will display the extraordinary footage in sparkling clarity. The concert will be touring Europe and the UK next year, taking to the stage of Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on May 23. Sit back and soak up the breathtaking visuals as the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra performs Hans Zimmer, Thom Lukas & Laurentia Editha’s powerful compositions, and executive producer Elizabeth White shares fascinating stories behind the filmmaking process.

What can you expect at Blue Planet III: Live in Concert?
This mesmerising exploration of unknown depths and ocean life is the result of four years of filming and production, with brand-new footage set to be featured across six hour-long episodes. Each one is expected to focus on a key underwater habitat, with the titles confirmed as: Polar Waters, Tropical Seas, Open Ocean, Seasonal Seas and The Deep. The final episode, Future Seas, spotlights what we can do to protect our waters. Blue Planet III: Live in Concert takes segments of this series to the stage, promising an immersive cinematic experience that will transport you to vibrant coral reefs, wind-lashed coastlines and the sub-zero waters of the Arctic, all without setting foot outside Glasgow.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a concert without music, and this is no ordinary performance. You can expect an unforgettable symphonic spectacle with the acclaimed City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra performing a brand-new score composed by Oscar winner Hans Zimmer, Thom Lukas and Laurentia Editha for Bleeding Fingers Music. Deep, rumbling bass, soaring strings and atmospheric percussion will soundtrack the scenes that unfold on the giant UHD screens, injecting extra drama and gravitas into every moment.
This spellbinding concert should be at the top of the list for fans of the show, anyone hunting for an unforgettable evening to start counting down the days to or those of you who want to listen to iconic music live. It’s not only a chance to experience the beauty of the natural world on a massive scale, but also a striking reminder of the importance of protecting the planet’s oceans and the creatures that call them home.
