The Smith Center will host ‘Twilight’ in Concert on March 20 with a 12-piece ensemble performing the film’s score live as over 1,000 candles transform Reynolds Hall for one night only
Las Vegas audiences will see ‘Twilight’ in a new light this March as The Smith Center transforms Reynolds Hall into a candlelit stage for a single-night event pairing the 2008 film with a live 12-piece ensemble. More than 1,000 candles will illuminate the venue, setting a dramatic backdrop for the story of Bella and Edward as the movie plays in full.
Tickets for ‘Twilight’ in Concert start at $40.30 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday through thesmithcenter.com. The event is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on March 20, offering fans a rare chance to experience the film’s score performed live in sync with the on-screen action.
How the Concert Experience Works
Unlike standard screenings, ‘Twilight’ in Concert will feature musicians performing the original score in real time, blending live music with the film’s dialogue and sound effects. The 12-piece ensemble will be positioned on stage, surrounded by a sea of candles designed to heighten the atmosphere and immerse the audience in the film’s Pacific Northwest romance.
This format has gained traction in Las Vegas, with similar live-score events drawing crowds to venues across the valley. The Smith Center’s decision to stage ‘Twilight’ in Concert reflects a growing appetite for hybrid film-and-music experiences that go beyond traditional movie nights.
Ticket Details and Visitor Information
Reynolds Hall, the flagship theater at The Smith Center, will host the event for one night only. Tickets are available exclusively through the venue’s official website, with entry-level pricing set at $40.30. Attendees should expect a full-length screening, with the live ensemble performing throughout the film’s runtime.
Doors typically open 30 to 60 minutes before showtime, and guests are encouraged to arrive early to take in the candlelit setting. The Smith Center is located in Symphony Park, a short drive from the Las Vegas Strip, with parking available on site and in nearby lots.
Las Vegas Embraces Live Film Concerts
‘Twilight’ in Concert is part of a broader trend of immersive film events in Las Vegas, where venues are experimenting with new ways to engage audiences. The Smith Center has previously hosted similar productions, and other local theaters have found success with live-score screenings and themed movie nights. This approach echoes the popularity of events like Mob Month at The Beverly Theater, as reported earlier, where classic films are paired with unique live elements to create a distinct experience for local audiences.
Las Vegas continues to prove that it is not content with routine entertainment formulas. By bringing ‘Twilight’ in Concert to Reynolds Hall, The Smith Center is betting that audiences want more than nostalgia—they want to be part of the spectacle. This is not just another movie night; it is a calculated move to keep the city’s entertainment scene fresh, relevant, and competitive with national trends. For visitors and locals alike, the message is clear: Las Vegas is still where new ideas in live entertainment take center stage.
