Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas in Concert with the ASO

The ASO will present Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in Concert Live-to-Film featuring the contemporary holiday classic on the big screen in full symphonic glory with GRAMMY®-winning composer Danny Elfman’s musical score performed live to the film by ASO. The concert will be led by conductor Thiago Tiberio and performed at Atlanta Symphony Hall on Saturday, November 1 at 7:00pm and Sunday, November 2 at 3:00pm.

Based on an original poem and characters created by Tim Burton, the film was first released as “The Nightmare Before Christmas” in 1993. Directed by Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach), the film follows the earnest-but-misguided adventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween Town's beloved Pumpkin King.

Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine of Halloween, Jack longs to try something new. Convinced that he can spread the joy of Christmas, and against the advice of Sally, a caring and clever ragdoll, Jack enlists three mischievous trick-or-treaters – Lock, Shock, and Barrel – to kidnap Santa Claus. But Jack’s merry mission puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere. The film is rated “PG.”
