William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet – Film in Concert

William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet – Film in Concert comes to Usher Hall on Sunday 17 October 2027. Culture Edinburgh lists the event at 7.30pm, with tickets from £57 including fees and general sale already under way.

This is one of the stronger long-range 2027 bookings for Edinburgh because it combines a recognisable film title with a full live performance setup, rather than just replaying the movie in a standard cinema environment.

The concept brings Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 Romeo + Juliet to the hall with a live ensemble performing in sync with the film. That should make it appealing both to film fans and to audiences who like orchestral or crossover concert events.

Usher Hall is an ideal venue for it. The room is built for scale, and the combination of large-screen presentation with live musicians should give the evening much more impact than watching the film at home or in a normal cinema screening.

Usher Hall

Usher Hall is one of Edinburgh’s landmark concert venues and sits on Lothian Road close to the west end of Princes Street. It is a natural home for orchestral events, film concerts, and large-scale one-off performances.

Getting There

The hall is easy to reach from central Edinburgh on foot, by bus, or via the West End tram stop with a short walk. Haymarket and Waverley are both workable rail options depending on which side of the city you are travelling from.

Before You Go

• If you want seats in a particular part of the hall, do not leave this too late.
• Film-in-concert events can attract both casual and dedicated audiences, so early booking often pays off.
• Check the official page for any updated runtime or age-guidance notes nearer the date.
