“I can’t wait for the audience to experience the music of Our Planet Live in Concert,” says Price. “Using a combination of the most memorable sequences from the Netflix series exclusively designed for this show, the incredible musicians plan to take you on a journey that celebrates the wonders of our planet – the one home we all share – while showing the urgent need to treasure and protect it.”
From forests to high seas to frozen worlds and beyond, Netflix’s global phenomenon “Our Planet” features jaw-dropping imagery of the Earth’s most beautiful, intriguing and surprising wildlife. It inspires viewers to learn how climate change impacts all living creatures and what can be done about it.
OUR PLANET LIVE IN CONCERT brings together some of the world’s greatest creatives, filmmakers, musicians and conservationists to provide an experience like no other. “The creators of ‘Our Planet’ have edited the most breath-taking sequences from the series to deliver a unique and compelling narrative to live audiences on a large screen in full HD quality,” says Floris Douwes, concert producer at GEAlive.
“We’ve seen first-hand the impact this series has generated by showcasing the wonders of our planet while also addressing the urgent need to protect it for future generations,” says Colin Butfield, former Executive Producer for “Our Planet” at WWF. “We hope to elevate this message and deepen the audience’s engagement with the natural world by bringing the documentary into the event space on a great scale.”
