Bravo! Vail - Fantasia in Concert

Bravo! Vail – Fantasia in Concert invites you to experience the timeless magic of Disney’s classic animated masterpiece, now brought to life by the Philadelphia Orchestra under the baton of Aram Demirjian. As you watch the enchanting film unfold on screen, the orchestra delivers the irresistible score live, featuring spell‑binding excerpts from Dukas’s *The Sorcerer’s Apprentice*, Beethoven’s **Symphony No. 5**, the serene flight of Pegasus to the strains of Beethoven’s **Sixth Symphony**, and the exuberant “Dance of the Hours” by Ponchielli. Since its original 1940 release, the film has captivated tens of millions, turning the drama, passion, and joy of classical music into an unforgettable experience. The original posters—“Motion Picture Magic as You’ve Never Seen It Before!”—promised an audacious blend of animation with no dialogue, yet the visual wonders of Mickey Mouse, Pegasus, and hippos coming to life in perfect harmony with the music remain as thrilling today as they were then. Stokowski shared headline billing with Walt Disney itself, and today, the presentation is licensed by Disney Concerts, ensuring that you can relive this iconic cinematic moment on the big screen with the lights, sound, and excitement of a live orchestral performance.
