This is more than live music synchronization with movies.
It is having the characters from Disney movies there, at hand, on the stage of the Teatro Colón.
A Colón that is filled with children (and adults), eager to hear some of the most popular songs from the animation studio, which celebrates its 100th anniversary with this show,
Disney 100 in concert
.
It is the fifth co-production between the Teatro Colón and The Walt Disney Company, after
Disney in Concert: Symphony of Movies
, which took place in 2019. Then there were two other shows with movie projections:
Star Wars: A New Hope in Concert
, in 2020 , before the pandemic, and
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in Concert
(2022), and among them, in 2020
Magic and Symphony
took place .
The midley of "Mary Poppins", one of the most ingenious of the show.
There are 16 films that are reflected and remembered, in addition to a couple of special numbers.
The start is with
The Blue Star
, from
Pinocchio
, with the singers illuminated only on their faces, which creates a beautiful effect.
After the screening of the first Disney short (
Steamboat Willie , the first appearance of Mickey Mouse on the screen),
everything started with a mouse
arrives
, which refers precisely to the beginnings of the company and its character.
In chronological order, the first feature film to be honored is
Cinderella
, and when the Fairy Godmother asks the audience how dreams come true, a child spectator, a fan of the film, from a high box can't hold his nervousness and yells at her
"Bibbidi-Babbidi -Bu”
, which is the title of the song to be performed.
"Under the sea", one of the songs from "The Little Mermaid" in the concert.
How much are the tickets?
From there, the connection between what happens on stage, and what is seen on the screen, and the public, will continue to be fused, as allies, and when the interval arrives, the boys will want the recess to end quickly, to see and enjoy further.
Of the best
Among the best moments, the
Mary Poppins Medley
stands out , with the songs
Supercalifragilisticexpialidoso
and
Al compás de mi canción
, with a display of chimneys and mapping.
From
The Little Mermaid
,
Part of it
.
"The Lion King", another honored classic.
There are very good performances, like that of Patricio Witis, already a regular at these shows, but also very good singers -that of the aforementioned
The Little Mermaid
, the one who sings
Colors in the Wind
(
Pocahontas
) or
Paula Chouhy, with Llegaré
,
from
The Princess and the Frog
- who deserve your recognition.
One of the most magical moments, along with that of
Mary Poppins
, is that of
Aladdin
, especially with
An Ideal World
, with the princess and the protagonist flying on the magic carpet.
Mapping and fans on stage for "Reflejo", the theme of "Mulán".
Obviously they could not miss themes from
The Lion King
(
I would like to be the king
and
Endless Cycle
, among others),
Beauty and the Beast
,
The Jungle Book
, with Baloo on stage,
Mulan
,
Tangled
and
Moana
, until arriving to
Charm
.
And a Disney show without Elsa singing
I'm Free
, from
Frozen
, wouldn't be a Disney show.
I couldn't miss "Libre soy", from Frozen". And it's not missing.
Under the musical direction of Maestro Thiago Tiberio -who has already conducted other shows of the same nature here-, the Teatro Colón Academic Orchestra, made up of young student musicians, sounded splendid and lavish, when it should be.
There are more than 30 artists on scenes, including singers, dancers and acrobats, who interpret different moments from some of the most emblematic songs from Walt Disney Animation Studios movies (there are no Pixar ones, so don't get excited about hearing
Coco
or some from
Toy Story
).
The stage direction is provided by Peter Macfarlane.
"Moana", one of the last performances of the show.
There are 17 functions, from this Friday the 10th to Thursday the 23rd, including a relaxed, inclusive function, which will be adjusted to offer softened light and sound effects.
Ticket prices for common functions range from $3,500 to $19,500.
And on Thursday 23 at 2:00 p.m., the relaxed one has the highest value in the stalls at $9,750.
