Total Eclipse is a one-night gala event featuring the work of Jim Steinman. Steinman wrote songs built for scale: dramatic, relentless, and unapologetically theatrical. This new orchestral concert brings his greatest hits catalogue to the London Coliseum in a full symphonic and rock hybrid, with the ENO Orchestra on the iconic Coliseum stage, fused with a live rock band for one night only.
Across the night, the set features Steinman’s most celebrated work, including Bat Out of Hell, Total Eclipse of the Heart, Holding Out for a Hero, I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That), and It’s All Coming Back to Me Now and many more. Orchestral power meets amplified rock, with guest vocalists drawn from Steinman’s stage world, including several artists connected to Bat Out of Hell.
The concert is produced by Tony Award nominee Tyce Green, who recorded with Steinman and remains closely associated with his work. It is executive produced by Darren Bell and Sam Quested, the team behind the WhatsOnStage Award-winning concert productions of Love Never Dies and Something Rotten!, the filmed concert production of Bonnie and Clyde, and, more recently, Patti LuPone at the London Coliseum.
Featuring all-new orchestrations, the show is musical directed & conducted by Jack Bennett, and directed by Chris Clegg.
