Distant Worlds premiers in Melbourne
With special guest, composer Yoko Shimomura in attendance!
Following on from a sell-out show at Sydney’s ICC Theatre in 2016, Distant Worlds will make its return appearance down under in August, for a one-night-only show at the Melbourne Arena; marking Distant Worlds’ premiere performance in Melbourne!
GRAMMY®-winning conductor Arnie Roth will lead the 100-piece Distant Worlds Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus in a breathtaking performance of the beloved music of Nobuo Uematsu, Yoko Shimomura, and others, in front of spectacular HD video direct from game developer SQUARE ENIX.
Originally launched in conjunction with the twentieth anniversary of FINAL FANTASY, the brand new, completely revamped live show will feature music from one of the most popular video game series of all time! This concert will include a special tribute to the original FINAL FANTASY VII, and Yoko Shimomura, composer of FINAL FANTASY XV, will be in attendance!
