GEA is a live
entertainment
company that designs
and delivers creative
projects of all sizes
and disciplines. Maestro Ennio Morricone at the
Arena of Verona | August 30th 2017
Our experienced, cross-disciplinary team works on
a vast array of projects, ranging from new show
development to licensing existing shows and talent
management. With an office in Amsterdam and an
ever-expanding network of partners worldwide, GEA
has been producing creative projects across the
globe since 2003.
In its early years GEA mainly acted as a producer
of international theatrical tours for international
titles such as De La Guarda, Cirque Mechanics,
Fuego! – The Spanish Dance Spectacular, The
Official Westend Production of The Blues Brothers,
Hair – The Musical, Ghost Stories and the massively
successful French rock-opera Notre Dame De Paris.
The company also extensively worked on booking
and promoting international concert and festival
engagements with numerous international artists
such as Christina Aguilera, Earth, Wind & Fire, Kool
& The Gang, The Scorpions, Sean Paul, Jim Belushi,
Sir Tom Jones, The Simple Minds, Chaka Khan, Laura
Pausini, Grace Jones, Gloria Gaynor and countless
smaller acts.
The cooperation with the late Maestro Morricone,
which began in 2012 and the phenomenal success
that followed, saw a shift in the company’s focus
to film music as a genre. In recent years GEA has
produced and still produces touring live screenings
with orchestra and choirs of major motion pictures
such as The Godfather, La La Land, The Hunger
Games and Paddington.
In November and December 2017 GEA produced
the first ever concert tour of Hollywood composer
James Newton Howard, which opened at London’s
Royal Albert Hall and toured 15 European cities. James Newton Howard opens his ‘3 Decades of Music for
Hollywood’ tour at the Royal Albert Hall | November 3rd 2017
Outside the realm of film music, in 2017 and
2018 GEA partnered with Graceland and Sony
Music Entertainment on producing Elvis Live
on Screen with the Czech National Symphony
Orchestra, a production that starred Elvis on
screen synced with his master vocals and a live
symphony orchestra. The tour was hosted live
on stage by Priscilla Presley and spanned 20
arenas in 13 countries.
Since its inception in 2003, GEA has produced
and delivered live entertainment projects and
artists in over 28 countries worldwide. Many of
the productions and artists that the company
started working with in its early years are still
part of its diversified portfolio today.

In 2019, GEA put together the first ever live tour
of the legendary music producer and pioneer of
electronic dance music, Giorgio Moroder.
At 78 years young of age, the multi Academy Award and Grammy
Award-winning Moroder embarked on a 16-city European tour in
April and May 2019. Ending the tour in style, Moroder performed
at 4 festivals all over Europe in the summer of 2019, with a hugely
successful finale at Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands. The
tour production entitled ‘A Celebration of the 80’s’ saw the Italian
songwriter, producer and DJ perform the highlights from his
prolific career in a spectacular stage show with dazzling visuals
and lighting alongside his band and vocalists.

In the past two years, before the Maestro deceased, the company has been working with him and his son Andrea on the creation of a new celebratory concert of his works. This concert, which is entitled Ennio Morricone - The Official Concert Celebration, will be a unique, large scale arena production with a music program of the Maestro’s most famous and most favourite works. The music shall be conducted by Andrea Morricone (pictured left) and will feature six of the Maestro’s longtime soloists, supported by local symphony orchestras and choirs. The program will be presented with a supersized video screen to include film clips, stills and never before seen footage of the Maestro and some of his collaborators.
