Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: The Lion King in Concert

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: The Lion King in Concert at Hilbert Circle Theatre

The Lion King is familiar on screen, but a concert performance makes its score an event of its own. On February 13, 2027, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra brings The Lion King in Concert to Hilbert Circle Theatre, and the film you know by heart gets a bigger, braver voice. The original 1994 animated film screens above the stage while the ISO performs the score live. That's the draw: the story you remember, with the music right there in the room.

Think about how much of this film is sound. Hans Zimmer's score is the featured music, and the songs come from Elton John and Tim Rice. Lebo M. is credited with the African vocal and choir arrangements. Hearing that music performed live, in sync with the picture, turns a familiar favorite into something you can feel as much as watch. Jack Everly is the announced conductor, guiding the orchestra through a format built on precise timing between musicians and film.

This is not a stage musical, a remake or a costumed cast show. It's the animated film itself, paired with a live orchestra, presented under license from Disney Concerts. Hilbert Circle Theatre is where the film and the live score meet. Choose your seats for The Lion King in Concert and make this one a memory worth leaving home for.
