Gene Kelly – A Life in Music is a symphonic cinema tribute to the life and work of legendary dancer, director and choreographer Gene Kelly. Blending beautiful film clips from well-known MGM musicals with less-known pieces, including rarely seen television specials, the show is woven together with captivating, behind-the-scenes stories about the making of these magical works, shared by Kelly’s wife and official biographer Patricia Kelly. This very personal journey into the unique landscape of music and dance is capped by the presence of Auckland Philharmonia, a jewel in our city’s performing arts crown, whose magnificent orchestra plays live to Kelly’s dancing on screen.
