MSO: Disney’s Fantasia

If you thought Fantasia was overwhelming as a five year old, just wait until you see (and hear) it like this.

Overview

The imaginative genius of Walt Disney meets the exceptional talent of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in bringing Fantasia to life.

Selected clips from Fantasia and Fantasia 2000 will be screened in high definition, and the MSO will perform the memorable soundtrack under the direction of Associate Conductor Benjamin Northey. Musical performances will include The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, The Nutcracker Suite and Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue.

The haunting animation originally created by Walt Disney is heightened by the powerful musical treatment of the MSO, making this closer to a live performance rather than a cinematic experience. If you thought Fantasia was overwhelming as a five year old, just wait until you see (and hear) it like this.
