One of the earliest Disney animated films, 1940’s Fantasia probably wouldn’t get green-lighted today, with its compilation of unrelated segments, including a nearly abstract one and another based on Greek mythology, set to classical pieces played by an orchestra.
Today it’s one of the most popular films of all time, though, a cultural icon. And the Cleveland Orchestra will play that music — familiar pieces by Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Schubert, and Stravinsky, among others, that is familiar in large part because of the film — while Fantasia shows on a large screen above the Severance Hall stage. It’s the latest installment of their “At the Movies” series. Brett Mitchell conducts.
Tickets are $40-$105.
