This beloved concert has played to millions all over the world with over 300 major orchestras, and now makes its Detroit Opera premiere just in time to celebrate Bugs Bunny’s 85th Birthday, and the concert’s 35th Anniversary. Seventeen classic Looney Tunes will be projected on the big screen of The Detroit Opera House, as the Detroit Opera Orchestra performs the original, iconic scores LIVE as inspired by Wagner, Rossini, Donizetti, Johann Strauss, Liszt, Smetana, Mendelssohn, and von Suppé! Don’t miss Baton Bunny, The Rabbit of Seville, What’s Opera, Doc?, Corny Concerto, Long-Haired Hare, and many other animated masterpieces – plus brand new additions, including the WORLD PREMIERE season of a just-completed animated short saluting Bugs’ 85 years on the silver screen, plus a suite of three new Wile E. Coyote/Road Runner 3D shorts, it’s the ultimate version of this cherished concert!
