About

On January 11, 2025, DRYEYE Film presented Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban™ in Concert at Peugeot Arena in Bratislava, as part of the official Harry Potter™ Film Concert Series. This unique event featured a full screening of the third film in the saga, accompanied live by the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of renowned Dutch conductor Ernst van Tiel.

For this performance, the orchestra was joined by a 40-member chorus, adding vocal depth and dramatic intensity to John Williams’s emotionally rich and thematically complex score. The combination of orchestra and choir brought an added dimension to the film’s darker tone, enhancing key scenes such as the Dementors’ chilling presence and the powerful Time-Turner sequence.

Produced by CineConcerts and Warner Bros. Discovery and promoted by DRYEYE Film led locally by Tibor Engler, the concert marked the third consecutive Harry Potter live-film screening in Bratislava. It further established DRYEYE’s reputation as a regional leader in delivering high-caliber symphonic film experiences across Slovakia and Central Europe.
