Epic ‘Final Fantasy’ Orchestral Show Heading To Melbourne

Staff Writer

One show only!

After debuting in Sydney in 2017, Final Fantasy event Distant Worlds will return to Australia later this year for a special one-off show.

The Victorian premiere at Melbourne Arena on August 24 will feature a completely revamped live show, with music from the acclaimed video game, a tribute to Final Fantasy VII, and acclaimed composer Yoko Shimomura in attendance.

The concert will see Gramming-winning conductor Arnie Roth lead the 100-piece Distant World Philharmonic and Chorus through a multimedia experience that features images, stills and iconic scenes from Final Fantasy to stunning live music.

The August event will also be Distant Worlds’ largest show to date.
