The Century Showdown: Symphony vs. Rock
What happens when the elegance of a symphony orchestra collides with the raw power of a rock band? This original musical comedy is more than a performance—it’s an outrageous, laugh-out-loud battle of sound and style that pits classical maestros against rebellious rockers in a competition for the ages.
Featuring a number of newly arranged pieces making their world premiere, this story-driven show blends breathtaking musical talent with their unique comedic brilliance. With unexpected twists, dazzling performances, and an energetic “battle” segment, the stakes couldn’t be higher—or more hilarious.
As you cheer for your side—whether you’re team Beethoven or electric guitars—you’ll be drawn into the playful rivalry.
VIP ticket holders even get exclusive judging rights to help decide the ultimate victor!
Producer’s Suggestion: Black colour for symphony fans, red for rock rebels—choose your side and let the showdown begin!
