An 'Attack on Titan' film concert is going to be staged in Manila this August

Heads up, Attack on Titan fans! A film concert on the popular anime is coming to Manila.

Film Concerts PH is set to stage Attack on Titan: Symphony from Paradis at the Theatre at Solaire on August 28 and 29.

The show will feature moments from the TV series projected on a large screen, along with symphonic arrangements curated by original composers Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamato, performed live by the Filharmonika Orchestra and the Philippine Madrigal singers.

Fans can expect an immersive environment thanks to the arrangements, which unleash the full dramatic impact of the tension, urgency, melancholy, and catharsis.

The upcoming concert follows the global success of Attack on Titan: Beyond the Walls - World Tour, which was a rock orchestra and faithful reproduction of the original score.

Apart from the Philippines, Attack on Titan: Symphony from Paradis will make its world premiere at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Oct. 17, in Asia in Hong Kong on Nov. 1, and in the US at New York's Carnegie Hall in January 2027. 

"I am delighted that the music of Attack on Titan will be performed in full orchestral arrangements for the first time, in various concert halls around the world," Sawano said.

"I am also very happy that Nobuko Toda—a composer and orchestrator I have long hoped to collaborate with—will be handling the orchestral arrangements of my compositions for this occasion. I believe this will be a concert experience unique to this tour, allowing audiences to feel a new kind of expression and grandeur that only a full orchestra can deliver— something distinct from the original band-and-orchestra format. I myself am already filled with excitement, and I sincerely hope that as many people as possible will enjoy it.”
