The live production promises to offer an impressive live cinematic experience, featuring a unique candlelit atmosphere that will transport audiences deep into the heart of this romantic story, more than fifteen years after the film’s original release.

The dark and melancholic score for Twilight (2008) was written by multi-Academy Award, BAFTA Award and Critics’ Choice Award nominee Carter Burwell, known for his collaborations with directors such as the Coen brothers, Todd Haynes and Spike Jonze.

The story follows Bella Swan, played in the film by Kristen Stewart, who doesn’t expect to find much excitement when she moves to the small town of Forks in Washington, until she meets the mysterious Edward Cullen played by Robert Pattinson - a boy who's hiding a dark secret: he's a vampire. As their worlds collide, Edward must battle the bloodlust raging inside him as well as a coterie of undead that would make Bella their prey.
