Totally recommend this show! Every single performer was amazing!!! If you love Zelda and you love its music, then go~! They almost each game their own time to shine, and they also project images above the musicians so you can feel like you're playing the game with epic music. Thank you so much for an amazing show!!! <3
That was so maddddd had a grate time and money well spent if your a Zelda fan go to this
Choir was off key 80-90% of the time, Orchestra was consistently off beat, or not in sync with each other. I'm not a harsh critic, and I'm not exaggerating. High school bands are better than this. Really love the source material and don't wish to hurt anybody, but honestly the whole performance felt very unprofessional and certainly not worth the price of the ticket. Pretty confused as to how this event happened. Was there no quality control?
Zelda was great for the gamer (my husband) and the nongamer (me). Music was great
This was worth every penny. I enjoyed it, particularly because Zelda has become a generational bond between myself and my children. The music was amazingly performed. The presentation was wonderful. We left wanting more.
The conductor, musicians, and choir members were all fantastic. My wife stated that this was the best orchestral concert she had ever attended. We were both ready to go back the next day. My only very minor disappointment is that I had hoped for a charged up, theme song heavy piece for the finale, which didn't happen. Even so, through the whole program, you can see the dedication, attention to detail, and hard work that has went into it. If you are on the fence about attending, please do yourself a favor and order the tickets. Even those who have no history with the Legend of Zelda series can appreciate what is offered here.
I'd attended this symphony before once at a different venue and while the venues themselves were no comparison, this symphony was equally moving both times. The nostalgia drummed up from the swells and falls of Koji Kondo's most memorable themes often left me either on the verge of happy tears or with goosebumps along the nape of my neck. Nothing can compare to listening to the sound of instruments coming together in live realtime. If you love The Legend Zelda, it's definitely worth every penny. (Even if they did leave out the Gerudo Valley piece this time...) I only gave 4 stars because most symphony orchestras wouldn't make you buy a basic program for the performance (though ten dollars isn't miller). They'd also usually have sufficient stock of them on hand; by the time we got through the huge merchandise line, they'd sold out. This is not a reflection on the peformance though. The musical performance itself was superb. Overall, will definitely go again. Will just plan better so that maybe I can get a program next time.
Firstly, and this has nothing to do with the actual performance, but one of the speakers at the venue was buzzing and was obviously not functioning properly...which was distracting. For the actual performance, I thought whoever composed the orchestration for the songs didn't do them as much justice as they could have. It felt as though they were orchestrated by someone familiar with orchestration but not with the Zelda franchise. I'd noticed several incorrect notes were played during the concert and the songs generally lacked power and feeling. The song list was also very plain and average. Several songs from Breath of the Wild, which not many people even remember, were played. Meanwhile Gerudo Valley and the Song of Storms, two of the most popular Zelda songs of all time, were not played. While they did play the Clocktown Theme from Majora's Mask, that's about the extent of the music from Majora's Mask...which contains some of the most memorable music from the series. All in all, I would not suggest this concert to a Zelda fan. I should expand on that and say that I would not suggest it to a Zelda fan who also knew anything about music composition or appreciation. I have no problem with suggesting it to a Zelda fan so long as they won't be able to tell the difference between an emotionally gripping performance and one in which the sheet music is simply played.
Excellent show. Very engaging and the music brought the game to life
The concert was terrific. The video clips from the games brought back many fond memories from playing the games. The sound quality at Knoxville Auditorium was amazing and it was well worth the money
I really enjoyed this concert! The visuals perfectly lined up with the music, and they were really well done. The music itself was well composed and drew me in. I especially got chills during the Wind Waker pieces. The Breath of the Wild Goron City composition at the end was really well done as well. Definitely a unique and unforgettable experience!
The Symphony of the Goddesses was a great experience. Even high up in the theater and off to the side, the sound of the symphony was fantastic. The screen showed clips from the Zelda games that the symphony was playing the music to. It was overall a very nostalgic, well performed symphony experience.
I took my daughter to see the concert for her bday. It was incredible! We had great seats and loved every minute.
This was amazing! The orchestra was fantastic and it stirred so many nostalgic feelings in my soul! My first Zelda was WW so starting with Dragon Roost made me so emotional. The only part that wasn't as enjoyable for me was the choir. They were a little rough at the beginning and when the Twilight Princess reprise started it wasn't spectacular (i'm sorry to say), but thank you Zelda Symphony!!!!
Saw the concert Friday evening in Knoxville. The music is absolutely, overwhelmingly incredible. Honestly, tears sprung to my eyes at the opening scene/music. It was so emotional. How can a series of video games cause one to have such connection? And, how the music is perfectly timed to the video scenes is simply amazing. I would go to every one of these if I could! (BTW, I am a 51-year-old woman who only "got into" Zelda a couple of years ago so that I could enjoy a better relationship with my son. Best decision ever! May BOTW have expansion packs for years to come...ha!)
This was my first Symphony, and it was absolutely incredible! The best experience and fantastic music! I would recommend this event to any Zelda/music lover!
It was a little expensive but it was awesome.the music was so incredible.
Great show. I hope to see more performances like this in the future.
Show was really good anyone who loves the zelda games will love going this
Show was amazing! Everything I expected and more. Venue had great seating.
