Overview

The original summer movie blockbuster, with an Academy Award-winning score by composer John Williams, JAWS in Concert is an unforgettable film-with-live-orchestra experience.

Now celebrating 50 years since the film’s original release, JAWS returns to the big screen, accompanied live on stage by The Metropolitan Orchestra Brisbane, conducted by Sarah-Grace Williams.

Directed by Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg in the film that launched his career, JAWS set the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and forever changing the movie industry.

John Williams’ score, which went on to win an Academy Award, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and a Grammy, perfectly captures the sheer terror of the unknown.

After sold out performances around the world, including New York, London, Sydney and Melbourne, Brisbane audiences now have the chance to experience this incredible movie in a new light, with the full force of The Metropolitan Orchestra Brisbane performing the entire score in sync with one of the greatest motion pictures of all time.

Come and relive the thrilling suspense when the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark. Together, the town’s chief of police, a young marine biologist and a grizzled shark hunter embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again.

  • When JAWS came out in 1975, it was easily the best movie ever made. Nothing ever made before it even came close.
    Quentin Tarantino, 2022
  • #1 Best Horror Movie of All Time.
    Rotten Tomatoes
  • JAWS may be the most cheerfully perverse scare movie ever made.
    Roger Ebert, The Chicago Sun-Times, 1975
