BUFFALO, N.Y. — Shea's Buffalo Theatre announced they will feature Naruto The Symphonic Experience, a live orchestra performance with songs and themes from the popular anime series.
Naruto The Symphonic Experience just wrapped up its European tour with more than 60,000 attendees. Now, the performance is touring in North America with over 60 cities, including a stop in Buffalo.
Naruto The Symphonic Experience is scheduled to preform on May 7 at 7:30 p.m. at Shea's in Buffalo.
“We invite Naruto fans to celebrate Naruto with this unique, live-to-picture experience. We created a two-hour film enhanced with a live, symphonic orchestra because the soundtrack plays such a huge role in the anime’s success and is praised by the legions of fans time and time again," producer Julien Vallespi said in a statement. “The original score, composed by Toshio Masuda is a perfect blend between pop and rock arrangements as well as traditional Japanese instruments like the Shakuhachi and Shamisen.”
Audiences will see an original, two-hour feature film, shown with subtitles, created by Julien Vallespi and Quentin Benayoun from the first 220 original episodes of the Naruto animated series. Naruto is currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of its original TV anime adaptation.
The orchestra will perform the most iconic songs and themes from the series, live-to-picture, as scenes are projected on a full-size, HD cinema screen.
