Polar is a cinematic portrait of our polar kingdoms with a unique live orchestral soundtrack. Experience white blizzards and dazzling blue oceans, the mighty polar bear, haunting beluga whales and beautiful humpback whales on the biggest screen we can fit in the RNCM, in the company of Manchester Camerata performing a specially-arranged score. Come with us to experience the great ice fields of the Arctic and Antarctic in this stunning production of music and film.
