Coppola's Epic live

Francis Ford Coppola's sprawling triumph of a film The Godfather makes its way to Davies Symphony Hall stage where it will be accompanied by the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, led by Stephen Mulligan. Ranked as one of the best film scores ever written, Nino Rota's unforgettable arrangements won him a Grammy Award and a Golden Globe, and rightly so; the nuanced melancholy, melodic themes, and heightened awareness of the relationship between visuals and music make the score a modern masterpiece.

What is the story?

The Godfather chronicles 10 years of the Sicilian Corleone family's affairs and the transformation of the youngest son Michael Corleone from outsider to ruthless Mafia leader.
