The ultimate family gift this Christmas are tickets to see The Lion King In Concert, performed by Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at The Plenary on February 3.
From the day we arrive on the planetAnd, blinking, step into the sunThere’s more to see than can ever be seenMore to do than can ever be done
Those immortal lines, from Circle of Life, are a hint as to why The Lion King In Concert makes such a fantastic Christmas present for the whole family. The Lion King soundtrack’s brilliance is the way it takes the hustle, bustle and hardships of life and puts them in perspective, transforming them into joyous reminders of life, love and celebration.

Seeing one of the greatest film soundtracks of all time brought to life by Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is a present you and your loved ones won’t forget. Celebrating its 30th Anniversary in 2024, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will premiere the Oscar winning songs by Elton John and Tim Rice, and Oscar winning score by Hans Zimmer, live to screen.
There are no better performers to capture the way Zimmer’s score swings from dramatic, soaring orchestral swells and South African choral vocals to bouncy pop numbers and Broadway-style musical storytelling.
The Lion King pushed the expectation for what a Disney animated feature could be, and how far it could reach. Many of us who sang along as children are now coming back to it with kids of our own. Now you can relive it in live orchestral glory, right here in Melbourne.
