The Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage was originally an MGM shooting stage until the late twenties. One of the first scores was the Wizard of Oz (1939, Herbert Stothart), which was a huge success and from that point on the stage was primarily dedicated
|
to the art of film score. Since then it has scored some of the most famous scores of all time including Gone with the Wind (1939, Max Steiner); Anchors Aweigh (1945, George Stoll); An American in Paris (1951, Johnny Green and Saul Chaplin); Ben Hur (1959, Miklos Rozsa); Lawrence of Arabia (1962, Maurice Jarre); and Doctor Zhivago (1965, Maurice Jarre).
Today, the Sony Pictures Scoring Stage is one of the most sought-after scoring venues in the world. Recent film soundtracks scored on the stage include Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Hans Zimmer); Cars (Randy Newman); Monster House (Douglas Pipes); and Snakes on a Plane (Trevor Rabin). Other scores within the last two decades include ET (John Williams); Schindler’s List (John Williams); Toy Story (Randy Newman); Forrest Gump (Alan Silvestri); Spider-Man (Danny Elfman); and Black Hawk Down (Hans Zimmer).
