About This Performance
Disney's The Little Mermaid comes to life in a spectacular concert experience, as the National Symphony Orchestra performs Alan Menken's beloved score live while the complete animated film plays on a giant screen above. Under the baton of Steven Reineke, one of America's most celebrated pops conductors, audiences can experience the Academy Award-winning music in a whole new dimension. The 1989 film marked the beginning of the Disney Renaissance and introduced unforgettable songs like Under the Sea, Part of Your World, and Kiss the Girl that have captivated generations.
This concert format creates a magical hybrid experience that appeals to Disney fans of all ages, families seeking a memorable outing, and classical music enthusiasts curious about film scoring. The live orchestra adds richness and nuance to Menken's compositions that can't be replicated through recorded sound, while the familiar story unfolds visually above. Expect moments of pure joy as the audience connects with both the nostalgic animation and the immediate power of live orchestral music.
Wolf Trap's Filene Center provides an ideal setting for this enchanting evening, with its open-air pavilion allowing the music to soar under the stars. The venue's natural acoustics and intimate atmosphere enhance the storytelling, while the expansive lawn seating welcomes families to spread out and enjoy the show.
