Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in Concert

The Colorado Symphony presented “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in Concert” at Boettcher Concert Hall in Denver from May 22 through May 24, according to listings from the orchestra and Denver Arts & Venues. The event paired a screening of the 1983 film with a live performance of John Williams’ score by the orchestra. The run was scheduled for three performances across the weekend. Denver Performing Arts Complex listings showed the event as on sale and hosted at Boettcher Concert Hall. ### When did the performances take place? The Colorado Symphony listed three showtimes for the run: Friday, May 22, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, May 23, 2026, at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, May 24, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. The same dates and times appeared on the Denver Arts & Venues event page. May 24, 2026, is the final listed performance date in the weekend run. Because the event spans May 22 to May 24, the Friday and Saturday evening shows preceded the Sunday matinee. ### What did audiences see and hear inside the hall? “Return of the Jedi” was presented as a full film screening with the score performed live, according to the Colorado Symphony’s event calendar. The orchestra’s description said audiences would watch the complete film unfold while the symphony performed Williams’ music in real time. Denver Arts & Venues used similar language, describing the event as the climactic sixth episode of the “Star Wars” saga and noting Luke Skywalker’s confrontation with Darth Vader alongside the Rebel attack on the Death Star. The event page also told attendees to “stay for the credits,” a line repeated across the official listings. ### Where was the concert held? Boettcher Concert Hall was the named venue on the Colorado Symphony, Denver Arts & Venues and Denver Performing Arts Complex listings. The hall is part of the Denver Performing Arts Complex. Denver Arts & Venues identified Colorado Symphony as the presenting organization. The event remained marked “On Sale Now” on the official venue listing when the page was crawled. ### Who was behind the production? John Williams was credited in the event descriptions as the composer of the score performed live by the Colorado Symphony. The official listing said the presentation was licensed by Disney Concerts in association with 20th Century Fox, Lucasfilm Ltd., and Warner/Chappell Music. The event materials also carried copyright and trademark notices for Lucasfilm and Disney. Those notices indicate the concert-film format was mounted under an official licensed presentation rather than as an independent screening. ### How could people still check details or tickets? The Colorado Symphony’s event calendar included direct “Buy Tickets” links for all three performances. Denver Arts & Venues and the Denver Performing Arts Complex also carried ticket links and the same schedule information. Visit Denver’s event-planning guide was cited in the original card context as a place for more information, but the clearest scheduling details came from the Colorado Symphony and venue pages. As of Sunday, May 24, 2026, the last listed performance was the 2:30 p.m. matinee at Boettcher Concert Hall, with ticketing and event information posted on the official event pages.
