Just as the popular original Looney Tunes animated shorts, created from 1930 to 1969, are considered “classics” today, so were the musical scores accompanying them.
The Springfield Symphony Orchestra on Saturday will bring the brilliant music of Looney Tunes to life as 16 hilarious Looney Tunes animated shorts are shown on a big screen above the orchestra as they play the accompanying iconic classically-infused original scores that included music by such greats as Richard Wagner, Franz von Suppe, Bedrich Smetana, Johann Strauss II, Frederic Chopin, Ludwig van Beethoven Johannes Brahms, Franz Liszt , Gioachino Rossini and many others.
Billed as “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony,” showtimes include a special matinee at 2:30 p.m., which allows for a much younger audience, and an evening performance at 7:30 p.m.
