Coming Soon - Bugs Bunny at the Symphony, with $10 kids’ matinee tickets!

Remember watching Bugs Bunny and friends on the Saturday morning cartoons? Well now imagine seeing these classic Looney Tunes cartoons on a big screen in the Eastman Theatre, with live music performed by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra.

You’ll have your chance to do just that, when Bugs Bunny at the Symphony comes to Kodak Hall on January 7 & 8, with two evening performances plus a special 2:00 pm Saturday orKIDStra Series matinee for families.

This sequel to Bugs Bunny on Broadway (which was here in 2007) includes Chuck Jones’ inspired What’s Opera, Doc? and The Rabbit of Seville, while adding in other Warner Bros. classics like Friz Freleng’s Rhapsody Rabbit, and the virtuoso orchestral roller coaster ride of the Road Runner epic Zoom and Bored.

Also new are special guest appearances of Tom and Jerry in the Hollywood Bowl, and other “guest stars” from the larger Warner Bros. animation family ... including The Flintstones and Scooby-Doo.

The Emmy-winning conductor and producer George Daugherty, who is also the show’s creator, will be in Rochester once again to conduct the return of our favorite “Wascally Wabbit.” Click here to read an interview with Daugherty about the show. Daugherty is no stranger to the Rochester, having made the professional guest-conducting debut of his entire career in 1979 with the RPO at the Eastman Theatre, at the age of 24.

Children’s tickets for this performance start at $10; tickets for the other two performances start at $15 and can be purchased by clicking here, or by calling the Box Office at 454-2100.
