LOST WORLD for Offenbach
There was a standing ovation on May 14, 2023 in the Capitol Theater, Offenbach, for the composition of the first original orchestral music to accompany the silent film classic LOST WORLD (1925) by Harry O.Hoyt, father of King Kong and great-grandfather of Jurrassic Parc . The "masterful score" (Offenbach Post) was commissioned by the city of Offenbach and the European Film Phiharmonic. Stefanos Tsialis conducted the Capitol Symphony Orchestra, which played with "devotion and tonal intensity" (FAZ).
