The Lion King

The Oscar-winning soundtrack by film music legend Hans Zimmer has characterised 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.

In their impressive performances, the choir and musicians breathe life into the well-known characters. The magnificent voices of the star soloists mesmerise the audience with their grace and skill. Every note they sing lends the songs an unrivalled depth. In the midst of this symphonic performance, the choir shines, bringing the well-known melodies of the film to life with their harmonious singing. The orchestral version of the iconic film songs gives you goosebumps. The audience is directly immersed in the world of Simba, Nala and co. when the songs are emotionalised with artistic screen animations. 

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