About this Concert
This beloved concert has played to millions all over the world with over 300 major symphony orchestras and now returns to Powell Hall just in time to celebrate its 35th anniversary—plus Bugs Bunny’s 85th birthday. Seventeen classic Looney Tunes hit the big screen as the SLSO, conducted by George Daugherty, performs the original, iconic scores live as inspired by Wagner, Rossini, Donizetti, Strauss, Liszt, Smetana, Mendelssohn, Ponchielli, von Suppé, and others. Don’t miss Baton Bunny, The Rabbit of Seville, What’s Opera, Doc?, Corny Concerto, Long-Haired Hare, and many other brilliant and beloved animated masterpieces—plus brand new additions, including the world premiere of Skyscraper Scrap starring Tweety and Sylvester, a just-completed animated short saluting Bugs’ 85 years on the silver screen, and a suite of three new Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner 3D shorts. It’s the ultimate version of this cherished concert—perfect for all ages.
