In February 2024, DRYEYE Film brought the magic back to Bratislava with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets™ in Concert, the second installment in the official Harry Potter™ Film Concert Series in Slovakia. Held at the NTC Arena, the event featured a full screening of the beloved film on a giant HD screen, with the Slovak Radio Symphonic Orchestra conducted by Ernst van Tiel performing John Williams’s sweeping score live in perfect sync with the movie.

The concert transported audiences deeper into the wizarding world as they experienced Harry’s second year at Hogwarts like never before—with every spell, chase, and mystery underscored by the power of a live symphony. The immersive production by CineConcerts and Warner Bros. Discovery, promoted by DRYEYE Film and locally led by Tibor Engler, built on the success of the 2023 premiere of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone™ in Concert, further establishing the series as a major cultural event in the region.

With stunning visuals, rich live music, and a packed arena of devoted fans, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets™ in Concert reaffirmed the timeless power of combining cinema and symphonic performance.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone™ in Concert – promoted by DRYEYE Film in collaboration with CineConcerts and Warner Bros. Discovery – brought the enchantment of J.K. Rowling’s beloved fantasy to life in Bratislava, with a full symphonic performance accompanying a live screening of the film. The event, held at the NTC (later PEUGEOT Arena), featured the 90-member Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra performing John Williams’s iconic score live to the projected film – a unique blend of visual storytelling and musical spectacle.

Organized under the direction of Tibor and Igor Engler, the concert marked the first part of the official Harry Potter™ Film Concert Series in Slovakia. As Tibor Engler noted, this event represented a bold leap in cultural programming: “modern audiences in Slovakia had not experienced such a project before,” and it successfully established a high-profile tradition in the country.

Celebrated by audiences and critics alike, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in Concert underscored DRYEYE Film’s ability to merge cinematic narrative with live orchestral performance, setting the stage for future events in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and beyond.
