RPO Insight Event / Lightroom

Featuring an epic score recorded by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) at Abbey Road Studios and narration by Hollywood actor Tom Hanks, we are delighted to offer a very special opportunity to experience The Moonwalkers: A Journey with Tom Hanks at London’s immersive exhibition space: Lightroom.

In this inaugural event in our new RPO Insights series, we look forward to welcoming guests to join us for a celebratory drinks reception ahead of a special showing of The Moonwalkers. Afterwards, a Q&A featuring Lightroom CEO Richard Slaney and Anne Nikitin, the composer of the score for The Moonwalkers, will uncover the story behind the work, and shed light on the creative process that made it all possible.

About The Moonwalkers 

Tom Hanks narrates an epic experience that offers a unique new perspective on humankind’s past and future voyages to the moon. 

Telling the stories of the Apollo missions in intimate detail, The Moonwalkers also provides an insight into the impending return of crewed surface missions by going behind-the-scenes of the Artemis programme, including interviews between Hanks and Artemis astronauts. 

Lightroom’s powerful projection and audio technology will transform the immense space into a vehicle for a spectacular immersive voyage to our closest celestial neighbour.
