An acclaimed programme celebrating the magical melodies from the anime films of world-renowned Japanese director and Academy Award winner Hayao Miyazaki comes to Bellinzona. Featuring works inspired by his unique artistic vision, the concert will be presented by Mystery Ensemble at Teatro Sociale Bellinzona, the city's historic theatre and one of the cultural landmarks of the region.
Hayao Miyazaki’s Dreams brings together iconic compositions by the brilliant composer Joe Hisaishi, including music from My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Laputa: Castle in the Sky. The programme is further enriched by selected works from other composers who have drawn inspiration from Miyazaki’s fantastical visual storytelling.
These musical themes transport the audience into the spellbinding world of beloved anime tales inhabited by courageous heroines, mysterious spirits, and characters deeply rooted in Japanese folklore.
