Matilda on the Big Screen w/ Live Orchestra (July 25-26)

SF Symphony

Hosted and narrated live by director and star Danny DeVito, the beloved modern fairytale Matilda comes to life on the big screen as composer David Newman conducts his enchanting score live-to-picture! Based on the book by Roald Dahl, Matilda tells the larger-than-life story of a little girl gifted with genius intelligence and magical powers—which she uses to survive her self-absorbed parents and an evil headmistress.
