The perfect treat before Christmas, the show will feature the film\u2019s iconic soundtrack, including some of the most romantic songs of all time, brought to life by a live orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>Originally released by TriStar Pictures in 1993, the film will be presented on a huge HD screen, while its beloved soundtrack is performed live to film, allowing audiences to experience the movie\u2019s unforgettable charm in a whole new, heart-stirring way.<\/p>\n<p>Directed by the queen of romantic comedies, Nora Ephron, &#8220;Sleepless in Seattle&#8221; follows the cross-country, serendipitous journey of two strangers whose lives and hearts intersect in unexpected ways. Sam Baldwin (Tom Hanks) is a recently widowed father whose heartfelt call to a late-night radio show captures the attention of Annie Reed (Meg Ryan), a journalist on the opposite side of the country who becomes unexpectedly drawn to him. As Sam tries to rebuild a life with his young son and Annie questions the direction of her own, a series of chance moments and near-misses pull them toward one another, culminating in a hopeful twist on classic romantic destiny. The film\u2019s screenplay was by Nora Ephron and David S. Ward and Jeff Arch, and was produced by Gary Foster.<\/p>\n<p>Marc Shaiman served as the composer and producer for &#8220;Sleepless in Seattle,&#8221; skillfully blending classic romantic standards such as Jimmy Durante\u2019s &#8220;As Time Goes By&#8221; and Louis Armstrong\u2019s &#8220;A Kiss to Build a Dream On&#8221; with his own original pieces. Among them was &#8220;A Wink and a Smile,&#8221; performed by Harry Connick Jr., which earned an Academy Award\u00ae nomination for Best Original Song. Shaiman played a key role in shaping the film\u2019s vintage charm, seamlessly merging nostalgic melodies with contemporary arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>San Diego Symphony on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sandiegosymphony\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" data-cms-ai=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Facebook <\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/sandiegosymphony\" class=\"Link\" target=\"_blank\" data-cms-ai=\"0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>    Event Supported By<\/p>\n<p>San Diego Symphony <\/p>\n<p>619.235.0804<\/p>\n<p>tickets@sandiegosymphony.org<\/p>\n<p>    Artist Group Info<\/p>\n<p>San Diego Symphony<\/p>\n<p>tickets@sandiegosymphony.org<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego Symphony &#8216;Sleepless in Seattle In Concert&#8217; Friday, December 11, 2026 at 7:30 PM The Rady Shell&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":503490,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[74,76,75],"class_list":["post-503489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=503489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/503489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/503490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=503489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=503489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=503489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
