The Florida Orchestra will play the score for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl as the movie runs at the Mahaffey Theatre. St. Petersburg hosts two performances on Sept. 18 and 19.
Friday, Sept. 18 brings the first show at 7:30 p.m. The second happens Saturday, Sept. 19 at 2 p.m. Both take place at the Mahaffey Theatre, sitting at 400 1st St. S.
Hans Zimmer wrote the music alongside Klaus Badelt for the 2003 adventure. Their work features He’s a Pirate, which audiences know well.
Fans can dress as pirates. Why? The Saturday performance lands on International Talk Like a Pirate Day, according to I Love the Burg.
TFO started back in 1968 when the Tampa Philharmonic joined forces with the St. Petersburg Symphony. These two ensembles had served the region through the 1960s, building a reputation that has lasted for generations now.
Musicians bring symphonic pieces to Tampa Bay listeners. They also stage film concerts where the score plays live beneath the screen.
