CARDIFF Motorpoint arena is set to welcome the hugely popular Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular to the capital in May 2015.

The live show, features over 100 performers and is conducted by Ben Foster, who conducts and orchestrates the musical scores for the TV series.

Music will be performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and members of the BBC National Chorus of Wales.

The show features a host of the Doctor's famous adversaries including the iconic Daleks and Cybermen, the spine-chilling Silence and many more fan favourites.

The live monsters provide a dramatic contrast to the evocative and thrilling music written by Murray Gold, who has been responsible for composing music for the series over the last eight years, including the record-breaking - and BAFTA award winning - 50th anniversary episode Doctor Who: The Day of the Doctor.

The show will also feature Murray's latest score and footage from series eight.

The live music will be accompanied by a big screen presentation of key moments and specially edited sequences from the past 50 years of Doctor Who.

Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular is set to take place on Monday, May 25. There are two shows, a 3pm afternoon matinee and 7.30pm evening performance.

Tickets are on sale now and are available by ringing the box office on 029 20 22 44 88.
