The beloved Christmas movie classic Home Alone, cherished by audiences around the world, will celebrate its 35th anniversary in 2025. To mark this milestone, the Prague Pop Symphonics orchestra is bringing Home Alone in Concert to the Czech Republic. For the first time ever, Czech audiences will be able to enjoy a screening of the film on a large screen accompanied by a live symphonic orchestra and choir. Watching young Kevin’s adventures and his battle with the Wet Bandits will be an entirely new experience! 

This unique event awaits fans on December 20, 2025, at Prague’s O2 universum. Home Alone in Concert offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the classic film in an entirely new way. Every dramatic and comedic moment on the big screen will come alive thanks to the accompaniment of 150 professional musicians on stage. The live music will add incredible depth and a whole new dimension to the story.

When you hear the name Home Alone, it is hard not to think of the story of young Kevin McCallister, left behind at home when his family accidentally forgets to take him on vacation. Alone, he must protect his house from two bumbling burglars. This American family comedy has become a cherished tradition in the Czech Republic, with many unable to imagine Christmas without it. The film’s iconic score, composed by the legendary John Williams, adds to its festive atmosphere. Williams’ work, including the song Somewhere in My Memory, earned him an Oscar® nomination for Best Original Score.

Prague Pop Symphonics is a dynamic young ensemble founded in 2023. Their debut project, Christmas in Hollywood, combined film music with original animations on LED screens, a light show, and theatrical effects, receiving extraordinary acclaim from audiences. With ambitious plans and a forward-looking vision, this orchestra promises even more exciting productions in the future. Stay tuned! 

Program and cast

Due to the nature of the event and the requirements of the rights holder, it is not possible to allow late arriving spectators into the hall after the event has started (the start of the film screening). It is therefore necessary to plan your arrival to the event well in advance. Late arrivals will not be allowed in the auditorium until the intermission, i.e. halfway through the film.

O2 Arena Prague

The O2 arena is one of the leading facilities in Europe with a seating capacity of up to 18,000. Every year, the O2 Arena hosts dozens of attractive sporting and cultural events. It was opened in 2004 for the ice-hockey championship and since that time it has welcomed over 600,000 people every year.

 

The O2 arena is located in north-eastern Prague, approximately 10 km from the city centre. It occupies an advantageous position between the interior road ring, which provides comfortable transport from other sections of the city, and the external ring road, which allows a quick connection to the outgoing motorway and the international highway network.

 

The O2 Arena offers more than fourty spatial, functional or technical variations of the stage surface and the auditorium. At a large rock concert, the O2 arena can host up to 18,000 spectators. The latest technology available at the O2 Arena include, e.g., a giant video cube, internal TV circuit, display facades, its own TV studio, sliding stands, excellent acoustics, light park and advanced telecommunication equipment.
