About the concert
From the shimmering wonder of Alice in Wonderland to the festive magic of The Nightmare Before Christmas, the haunting lyricism of Edward Scissorhands and the darkly captivating world of Netflix's Wednesday, this concert immerses you in the soundscapes of Tim Burton's films. At its heart is the music of Danny Elfman, Burton's lifelong collaborator, alongside moments from Corpse Bride, Beetlejuice, Batman and Sweeney Todd. Mystery Ensemble perform in their own arrangements — a live theatrical experience, not just a soundtrack concert.
