DISNEY FANTASIA: LIVE IN CONCERT Tickets and Dates

Described as 'a magical treat for the eyes and the ears',
DISNEY FANTASIA: LIVE IN CONCERT can be enjoyed by all the
family this Christmas on an 80ft screen in high definition.

Disney shares one of its crown jewels of feature animation,
showcasing selections from Walt Disney's original 1940 Fantasia
and Disney's Fantasia 2000, featuring a selection of the
magnificent repertoire from both films, including Tchaikovsky's
The Nutcracker Suite, and, performed and screened simultaneously
for the first time in the UK, Ponchielli's Dance of the Hours,
the great ballet of hippos, elephants, ostriches and alligators.
Other iconic moments from Disney's stunning footage, such as
Mickey Mouse as he dabbles in magic in Dukas' The Sorcerer's
Apprentice and the mythical unicorns and winged horses that
accompany Beethoven's 'Pastoral' Symphony, will also be shown
in HD on the big screen. With live underscore by the
Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra conducted by Ludwig Wicki,
this is another chance to relive this timeless classic and unique
cinematic experience.

Walt Disney once said, 'Fantasia is timeless. It may run ten,
twenty, thirty years. Fantasia is an idea in itself. I can never
build another. I can improve. I can elaborate. That is all.'
Disney's Jonathan Heely, Executive Producer of the programme, added,
'Now 73 years later, these live performances of Fantasia are a way
we can honour Mr Disney's vision while introducing new patrons young
and old to the concert hall with the inspiring sounds of the symphony
orchestra.'
