(NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ) -- State Theatre New Jersey and New Jersey Symphony present Casablanca in Concert with the New Jersey Symphony on Sunday, February 13, 2022 at 3:00pm at the newly renovated State Theatre New Jersey. The classic film will feature live orchestral accompaniment by the New Jersey Symphony, led by conductor Constantine Kitsopoulos. Tickets range from $39-$89.
Critics and audiences consider the iconic 1942 romantic film Casablanca—starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henried—one of the greatest films of all time. Roger Ebert wrote that Casablanca’s climax “combines suspense, romance, and comedy as they have rarely been brought together on the screen.”
The New Jersey Symphony connects with the people and diverse communities of New Jersey through the power of live symphonic music to inspire, entertain, and educate. Internationally renowned Music Director Xian Zhang has garnered critical acclaim on the podium and has deepened New Jersey Symphony’s commitment to presenting diverse voices that reflect the communities the Symphony serves.
