Uppsala Chamber Orchestra
After last year’s success with The Gold Rush when Uppsala Chamber Orchestra performed the music for the film, now comes Charlie Chaplin’s *Modern Times!*
Modern Times from 1936 is considered one of the greatest films in cinema history. In his 76th film, Charlie Chaplin was behind most aspects. He produced and directed, wrote the script and music, and played the leading role.
The film has no dialogue and uses only music and sound effects. Modern Times marks the first and only time the world hears the Little Tramp’s voice, and it is also the last film featuring Chaplin’s tragicomic character. “He always seeks love, but his feet get in the way,” Chaplin said about the Little Tramp.
Modern Times is a timeless satire of technological progress and individualistic society. Machines have replaced humans, and humans are treated like machines. But with humor as his weapon, Charlie Chaplin enters the fight against the downsides of modern society.

Since 2007, their home stage has been Uppsala Concert & Congress, where they also present family concerts and welcome school classes for educational visits.
