The magical music of Sir Elton John and Hans Zimmer together in a unique concert experience, with orchestra, soloists, choir and screen animations that touches and inspires! This is "The Lion King - The Music live in Concert". 

The Oscar-winning soundtrack by film music legend Hans Zimmer has shaped the globally successful animated film "The Lion King" for 27 years now: African rhythms and sounds paired with monumental, epic melodies. Sir Elton John's poignant hits such as "Hakuna Matata", "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" are timeless and composed for eternity. The magnificent voices of the choir welcome the audience to this mesmerizing evening and join the Cinema Festival Symphonics ensemble as they perform the orchestral version of the iconic movie songs. The audience is immersed directly into the world of Simba, Nala and co as the rousing sounds play live on stage and are emotionalized with artful screen animations.

It becomes full of joy and lightness when the melody of "I want to be king right now" fills the room. The cheerful rhythms of "The Morning Report" put you in a good mood. Very emotional when the orchestra takes the audience into the tragic death of Mufasa and evokes deep feelings.

The soloists, choir and orchestra of the Cinema Festival Symphonics, conducted by Stephen Ellery from London, have already thrilled audiences with concert performances of "Game of Thrones", "The Music of Star Wars" and "The Music of Harry Potter". The ensemble is known for their emotional, true-to-the-original, resonant sound that immerses the audience directly into the movie themes.

This emotionally rich, sonic experience is animated by video clips that take you directly to the African savannah. Majestic lions, primeval elephants, elegant leopards and, of course, Pumba the warthog and Timon the meerkat colorfully illustrate the eternal cycle of life.
