For the first time in this concert event, the brilliant film soundtrack is combined with the gripping songs of the eponymous musical world success and impressively emotionalized by screen animations.

Film legend Hans Zimmer and Sir Elton John

The Oscar-winning soundtrack by film music legend Hans Zimmer has now been shaping the globally successful animated film "The Lion King" for 27 years: 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.

Together, the magical music of Sir Elton John and Hans Zimmer is a unique concert experience that touches and delights all ages equally!

Hardly any other film soundtrack connects entire generations with so many personal emotions and memories as Disney's "The Lion King". The story of the lion cub Simba, who sets out to find his place in the eternal cycle of life. An archaic basic structure that fascinates for generations.

70 performers

70 performers, soloists, choir and orchestra, of the Cinema Festival Symphonics under the direction of Stephen Ellery from London, have already thrilled audiences with concert performances of "Game of Thrones," "Star Wars" and "Harry Potter."

The ensemble is known for their emotional, true-to-the-original, resonant sound that immerses the audience directly into the movie themes.

This emotionally rich, sonic experience is animated by video clips that transport viewers directly to the African savannah. Majestic lions, primal elephants, elegant leopards and, of course, Pumba the warthog and Timon the meerkat colorfully illustrate the eternal cycle of life.
