A new adventure awaits as “The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses” takes on its second quest on stage at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Majestic Theater, 224 E. Houston St.
Music and visuals from the popular video game franchise will be played in an orchestrated four-movement symphony based on the games “Skyward Sword,” “Spirit Tracks,” “Link’s Awakening,” “Ocarina of Time,” “The Wind Waker,” “Twilight Princess” and “A Link to the Past.”
“The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Second Quest” will include 30 minutes of fresh material as it explores additional chapters of the series.
Act 1 will feature an overture with interludes including “Dungeons of Hyrule,” “Kakariko Village Hope and Calm” and “Songs of the Hero.”
The symphony in the first act includes the themes from “Ocarina of Time” and “The Wind Waker.”
Act 2 will begin with an intermezzo, or a short musical solo, with “The Great Fairy’s Fountain” and orchestrated music from “Twilight Princess” and “A Link to the Past” before the finale.
