A devastating war has raged for 100 years, with the Fire Nation bent on conquering and ruling all the other nations for eternity. At the South Pole, a young Water Tribe girl and her brother make an amazing discovery: a 12-year-old boy enclosed alive in ice for 100 years, the last survivor of the annihilated Air Nation. He is the long-lost Avatar. But can he fulfill his destiny in time to save the world?
Avatar: The Last Airbender in Concert presents a live orchestral rendition of the series’ iconic soundtrack, paired with a nearly two-hour special recap of the animated series’ thre seasons displayed on a full-size cinema screen. The projection will feature the original dialogue and sound effects without any pre-recorded music, allowing the live orchestra to perform the legendary score live and in perfect sync with the show’s scenes. The result? A truly immersive and grandiose concert experience that breathes new life into Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Just as Avatar the Last Airbender masterfully blends Chinese culture with anime and American caratoon styles, an orchestra especially handpicked for this event will harmoniously combine Eastern and Western musical traditions – a symphonic fusion that faithfully reflects the signature sound of the Avatar saga. Taiko drums and erhus will share the spotlight with violins and clarinets while the series’ fan-favorite scenes are presented in chronological order on the film screen, breathing life into Aang’s liberating quest in an epic and authentic way.
The creative mastermind behind the show’s original music, award-winning composer Jeremy Zuckerman, has poured his heart and exceptional talent into reimagining and expanding the show’s soundtrack specially for this event. Through the creative collaboration with Jeff Adams (the show’s original editor) and under the artistic guidance of the show’s creators, Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, this spectacular production not only magnifies the essence of the series, but also marks a groundbreaking moment – the very first opportunity for the audience to immerse themselves in the captivating world of Avatar: The Last Airbender through a live experience.
