posted on by Andrew Osmond
Tickets are available on multiple platforms for the "Naruto Symphonic Experience," a live event at London's Royal Festival Hall (website) on Thursday May 28 at 7.30 p.m. The concert features songs and themes set to a two-hour subtitled film by Julien Vallespi and Quentin Benayoun from the first 220 episodes of the original Naruto anime.
The event is described as follows:
"For the first time ever, NARUTO Symphonic Experience is coming to the UK. This cinematic concert brings the beloved anime to life on a grand scale.
"Be swept up in the excitement, emotions and big dreams of ninja Naruto Uzumaki as Toshio Masuda's original score and the most famous opening and ending themes, are performed live by an orchestra.
"Syncing up with the spectacular sound is a magnetic montage of some of the best scenes and moments from over 220 episodes.
"Relive Naruto Uzumaki's journey to become Hokage, facing rivalries, challenges and growth along the way. The cinematic and musical montage has been created just for NARUTO Symphonic Experience, and it can only be seen during these performances.
"Masuda's dynamic soundtrack, blending rock, pop and traditional Japanese instruments such as the shakuhachi and shamisen, immerses you deep in the action."
Masashi Kishimoto launched the ninja manga Naruto in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1999, and ended the series in November 2014. The manga has spawned the Naruto and Naruto Shippūden television anime series, OVAs, several anime films, spinoff manga, the Boruto sequel manga and anime series, a series of novels, stage plays, and video games.
