America ! With the Orchestre de Paris under the baton of John Wilson and the soulful range of singer Louise Dearman, this concert film takes you through the heart of Hollywood’s golden age, turning the stage into a “dark room” where music and memory mingle. In a tribute full of contrasts and bright emotions, the orchestra and soloists guide us through iconic scores—from Nacio Herb Brown’s “Singin’ in the Rain” and Harold Arlen’s “Wizard of Oz,” to Max Steiner’s “Casablanca,” Bernard Herrmann’s “Vertigo,” and John Williams’ soaring “Flying Theme” from E.T. —highlighting how the art of film music grew from Wagnerian opera, through European émigrés like Korngold (in Michael Curtiz’s *The Private Life of Elizabeth of England*) and Herrmann, to the rhythmic energy of Broadway’s show‑tunes. As Federico Visconti famously proclaimed, “Richard Wagner, of course !”—a sentiment echoed in the exquisite synergy of orchestral drama and cinematic storytelling that transforms every film score into an emotional secret weapon. Join us for an unforgettable journey where music is not just a dressing, but the very heart of the moment, and where every refrain—whether the wistful echo of “As Time Goes By” in *Casablanca* or the hopeful glow of “Singing in the Rain”—bursts alive with universal meaning.
