About This Performance
The Seattle Symphony brings the beloved animated adventure How To Train Your Dragon to life in a spectacular concert experience that combines John Powell's soaring orchestral score with the full film projected on a giant screen above the orchestra. This innovative "film-in-concert" format has become increasingly popular, allowing audiences to experience movie magic in an entirely new way while showcasing the artistry of film composition. Powell's Celtic-influenced score, featuring everything from gentle Viking melodies to thunderous dragon flight sequences, becomes the star as the symphony performs every note live.
Expect an immersive family-friendly experience that appeals to both classical music newcomers and seasoned concertgoers. The combination of live orchestra and visual storytelling creates a uniquely engaging atmosphere where children and adults alike find themselves swept up in Hiccup and Toothless's friendship. The music takes on new dimensions when performed live – you'll hear instrumental details and dynamic ranges that home viewing simply can't capture. This is an ideal introduction to orchestral music for younger audiences, while film score enthusiasts will appreciate hearing Powell's intricate arrangements performed by world-class musicians.
Benaroya Hall's S. Mark Taper Foundation Auditorium provides the perfect setting for this multimedia experience, with its renowned acoustics ensuring every musical detail shines through clearly while the hall's sightlines guarantee excellent views of both orchestra and screen. The venue's intimate yet grand atmosphere enhances the storytelling, making you feel as though you're soaring alongside the dragons. As the Seattle Symphony's home, this hall has hosted countless memorable performances, and its technical capabilities make it ideally suited for these elaborate film-concert presentations.
