About
Played by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
With performances from AR Rahman and other musicians from India
A world without AR Rahman would be a world without Bollywood.
Described by Time as ‘the world's most prolific and popular composer', the Indian singer, songwriter, composer and philanthropist has influenced every corner of his home country's cinema culture. In this Asia TOPA exclusive, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will perform the Music of AR Rahman, with the superstar himself taking to the stage as special guest.
Fusing the delicate intricacy of eastern classical composition with the innovations of electronic music and the majesty of traditional orchestral arrangements, AR Rahman's music has earned him two Academy Awards, two Grammy Awards, a BAFTA and a Golden Globe.
Featuring signature works such as Jai Ho and Slumdog Millionaire Suite, this one-of-a-kind concert will see the MSO joined by international guest soloists S. Navin on flute and Asad Khan on sitar as well as vocal soloists and an epic 30 voice choir.

by RR on 8/17/22DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamHe sang more South Indian songs! Not enough Hindi songs. Also he was like a DJ behind his box. The junior singers sang most of the songs.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Amazing performance

Rating: 1 out of 5 Waste of money
by Hetal on 8/17/22DPAC - Durham Performing Arts Center - DurhamWe went there in a group of 8. I wish he would have sang at least 5 hindi songs by himself. Or the promoter would have advertised this show as other language song show. Literally we were sitting there and looking like we came from different planet. On top of that other singers who came with him, sang 3 hindi songs but he only sang 3. Complete disappointment
Rating: 5 out of 5 Excellent but it would be better if less South Indian songs
by Parul on 8/16/22Prudential Center - NewarkNice songs but less South Indian songs just because we don’t understand language
Rating: 2 out of 5 The music was mostly for South Indian community It should
by Arvind on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkDisappointed because it was thought he will play Bollywood music but it was played only for 45 minutes Also show star Ted late No conftrol Terrible moneydown the drain feel cheated not a going
Rating: 5 out of 5 AMAZING- NJ (except some audience)
by D on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkA.R. Rahman needs no words. The show itself was absolutely great/brilliant, but it didn't start until almost 8:45pm. That I can be sure is because of the audience, since almost 60% walked in after 8:30. Even during the show a lot of people kept walking up and down a 100 times making it annoying to really enjoy the visual treat. Other than that it was terrific, but I do recommend not taking any aisle seats since a lot of the disruptions happen.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Good but could be better
by ROHITASHVA on 8/15/22Prudential Center - Newark1. Excellent singing 2. Good acoustics 3. Very good team of both singers and orchestra 4. Stage too small and cramped, could not be seen from far 5. Orchestra members were hardly visible. They need to be both seen and heard for a complete experience, otherwise it appears as if lip syncing is happening 6. Stage lighting was poor and inadequate
Rating: 3 out of 5 Not upto expectations
by someone on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkDidn't sing lot of famous songs and too many of it not in Hindi. Wasn't for a broader public.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Horrible show and disappointed
by RahmanShowGuestAug12 on 8/15/22I purchased the last min tickets to watch AR Rahman legend's show at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ on Fri, Aug 12. I was expecting him to sing his bollywood classic songs but instead he covered more Tamil-songs. Completely disappointed and never expected such an abysmal performance from AR Rehman !!
Rating: 4 out of 5 Great concert.. needs improvement targeting to audience
by SI on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkGreat selection of songs.. entertaining overall.. the crowd was mostly South Indian people and should have adjusted the songs list accordingly to minimize on number of Hindi songs and increase Tamil and Telugu songs.. mixing Tamil and Telugu in the same song was awesome
Rating: 2 out of 5 Disappointed
by RahmanShowGuestAug12 on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkExpected him to sing more hindi songs.. he was comfortable singing Tamil songs. Completely disappointed...
Rating: 1 out of 5 The band should have played his hits
by O on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkThe band should have played his hits instead of random new hits.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Absence of big screens
by Frank on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkSurprised to see no big screens to cover the performance. It made us feel poor sitting in back rows. For us it was audio only show and with a view from far.
Rating: 5 out of 5 A lifetime experience
by Diya on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkIt was amazing to experience AR Rahman's music that has shaped our lives over years with a large, vibrant crowd. The concert was well organized, performances brilliant and the atmosphere scintillating.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Out of this world experience!!
by Eagle eye on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkARR.. just name is enough. The god of music, Mozart of madras and so many titles he posses and there is a reason for this. Undoubtedly, the king, the goat of Indian music. If we have his concert everyday, I will go and watch him live everyday. Rating and reviews are not applicable to GOATS like ARR.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Excellent...!!
by H Gang on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkIt was an excellent concert.. We all enjoyed a lot...!!!
Rating: 1 out of 5 worst of all AR shows attended so far
by KT on 8/15/22Prudential Center - NewarkWasnt a great experience, poor song selection, loud sound system and total focused on regional songs then Hindi. I have attended prior AR Rahman shows and he has always balanced out for all, this time it was completely off and pure waste.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Excellent show at Dhuram,NC
by SRI on 8/14/22Watching ARR show in live was a spectacular experience. Overall enjoy the the show. Especially arena was too good for light and sound effects. And ARR tried to managed and cover all three languages(Tamil, Telugu and Hindi) songs. Along with ARR his team Singers and musicians performed very well. Kudos to entire team and organizers.
Rating: 2 out of 5 Personal experience
by R_1 on 8/13/22Started half hour late, good music but not much for crowd to sing and dance along to, slow at some point and fast at some. I know its a big arena but no display to actually see the artist everone i spoke to was disappointed with that. Guess i was a little bitter because someone kept standing up evertime just to make a video. Not a bad show overall.
