An Orchestral Tribute to Tim Burton & Dark Fantasy by Moonlight tickets and regional UK dates

An Orchestral Tribute to Tim Burton & Dark Fantasy by Moonlight is a live concert in which the Illuminated Orchestra, eighteen classically trained musicians joined by live vocalists, performs film scores from Tim Burton's gothic films and wider dark fantasy cinema beneath the glow of a giant moon.

What the concert covers

The programme runs approximately 75 minutes and draws on eleven titles spanning Burton's gothic output and broader dark fantasy cinema. Burton films featured include The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, Alice in Wonderland, Batman, Beetlejuice, and Sleepy Hollow. The programme also takes in Labyrinth, Wednesday, and The Addams Family. The Illuminated Orchestra has no affiliation with any of the films or their composers; this is an independent tribute, not an official or composer-sanctioned concert.

The concert comes from the producers behind The Best of Hans Zimmer & Film Favourites Illuminated, and is a brand-new production.
