Nintendo’s
“The Legend of Zelda” symphony concert series will come to Las Vegas, on its
latest tour “Master Quest.” The show,
which celebrates the beloved 28-year-old video game franchise, will make this
world tour stop on June 10, at The Venetian Theatre.
The
Las Vegas Philharmonic will perform orchestral arrangements of music from the
games of “The Legend of Zelda” universe, accompanied by video content from the
games themselves.
The
Las Vegas concert will be taped for a national music special scheduled to air
at a later date on Public Television and AXS TV.
This
new concert series will tour across the United States, Asia and Europe in 2015
as The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddess - Master Quest, and will
feature music and images from Nintendo’s “The Legend of Zelda’s” most recent
game releases.
“How
beautiful to see an art form revived,” said a review in the Vancouver
Observer. “The symphony is not a dying
venue for aging minds but a potent way to communicate emotions via technology.”
Nintendo
has teamed up with Jason Michael Paul Productions, Inc. to provide video game
fans with the ultimate musical experience for “The Legend of Zelda.” The
highlight of this new musical program is a full four-movement symphony that
will guide fans through a musical retelling of key chapters from “The Legend of
Zelda” franchise. The multimedia show will pair iconic music and gorgeous
visuals from classic Zelda titles, as well as the newest game in the series,
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds for the Nintendo 3DS.
“We
realize that ‘The Legend of Zelda’ fans are all over the world, and we want to
bring this multimedia experience to them, too,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of
America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Game music, especially
game music as iconic as Zelda, is wonderful because no matter what language or
country, it’s familiar for everyone to enjoy.”
“Master
Quest will surprise and delight ‘The Legend of Zelda’ concert newcomers as well
as faithful followers,” said Jason Michael Paul- President Jason Michael Paul
Productions, Inc. “It features the same quintessential images and songs best
known from The Legend of Zelda franchise, but with the addition of never before
seen or heard performances.”
