LOVE SONGS — VALENTINE'S DAY CONCERT

Cinema has long known that love and music are the perfect couple! Who among us doesn't remember iconic romantic scenes from movies like Pretty Woman, Titanic, Bodyguard, Believe in a Ghost, Dirty Dancing or Love Story? Behind their strength lies not only a well-written story, but also an excellent soundtrack - often appreciated by moviegoers even more than the film itself. It is she who arouses emotions, conquers tension, tells the unspoken and makes us carry the on-screen story long after the end of the screening.

What about movie love? Well, if it weren't for her, we wouldn't have seen most of the blockbusters. As the main engine of the whole action, it is she who makes the heroes take risks, cross borders, flee, return, choose, lose and start over. It can be dreamy, impossible, tragic, funny, dangerous, destructive, passionate, with a happy ending, without a happy ending. It can be an epic romance — as in Titanic, a holiday dazzle — as in Dirty Dancing, a fairy tale of modern Cinderella — as in Pretty Woman; it can flourish in defiance of the world — as in the movie Bodyguard, cross the line of life and death — as in Believe in Spirit, break patterns and taboos — as in Pulp Fiction; it can pulsate with crazy romanticism. The masquerade, the youthful rebellion of the couple in love from The Abduction of Agatha, the daily longing for closeness like that of the series John the Heart, finally the great tenderness and deep sacrifice that in the melodrama of all time Love Stories are moving to tears.

During this Valentine's evening, recalling the most famous scenes from movie romances, we will see that love can sound in a whole range of colors and tones: from tenderness and romantic elation to the heat of passion and true wildness of the heart.
