Film legend Hans Zimmer and Sir Elton John The Oscar-winning soundtrack by film music legend Hans Zimmer has shaped the globally successful cartoon "The Lion King" for 27 years now: African rhythms and sounds paired with monumental, epic melodies. Sir Elton John's poignant hits like "Hakuna Matata", "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" are timeless and composed for eternity. Together, the magical music of Sir Elton John and Hans Zimmer is a unique concert experience that touches and inspires all age groups equally! Whole generations associate so many personal emotions and memories with hardly any other film soundtrack as with Disney's "The Lion King". The story of Simba the lion cub, who is looking for his place in the eternal cycle of life. An archaic basic structure that fascinates generations. The worldwide success of the musical, based on the film but expanded by a large number of new songs, led to an indescribable run on the coveted tickets. The additional compositions, which fit perfectly into the iconic film songs, have radiated a fairytale magic time and time again since the premiere 20 years ago.
70 participants, soloists, choir and orchestra, from the Cinema Festival Symphonics under the direction of Stephen Ellery from London, delighted the audience with the concert performances from "Game of Thrones", "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter". The ensemble is known for their emotional, true-to-the-original, powerful sound that immerses viewers directly in the film's themes. This emotional, sonorous experience is animated by video clips that take viewers straight to the African savannah. Majestic lions, primal elephants, elegant leopards and of course the warthog Pumba and the meerkat Timon colourfully illustrate the eternal cycle of life.
