TORONTO — Fans of the critically acclaimed video game Elden Ring will soon have the chance to experience its sweeping soundtrack in an entirely new way. Roy Thomson Hall has announced it will host the Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure on Friday, June 26, 2026, featuring a live performance by the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
Tickets for the event go on sale Friday, September 12, 2025, at 10 a.m. ET, with sales available through the venue’s website and box office.
A Video Game Phenomenon Meets Orchestral Performance
Released in 2022, Elden Ring became a cultural milestone in the video game industry. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with worldbuilding contributions from author George R. R. Martin, the game sold over 20 million copies and secured Game of the Year at the 2022 Game Awards.
Known for its immersive landscapes and intricate lore, Elden Ring also won acclaim for its original score, composed by Tsukasa Saitoh, Shoi Miyazawa, Tai Tomisawa, Yuka Kitamura, and Yoshimi Kudo. The music received multiple award nominations, including recognition at both the BAFTA Game Awards and The Game Awards.
For the symphonic event, those compositions will be reinterpreted for a full orchestra and choir, synchronized with 4K video montages from the game. The performance will also feature lighting design and sound effects to heighten the immersive experience.
An Expanding Franchise of Symphonic Adventures
The Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure is being developed by Overlook Events, the Paris-based production company behind the successful Dragon Ball Symphonic Adventure, Saint Seiya Symphonic Adventure, and Assassin’s Creed Symphonic Adventure.
Overlook’s model combines high-definition visuals with orchestral scoring, creating multimedia productions that appeal both to music fans and to dedicated communities of popular franchises. The company has worked with artists such as Joe Hisaishi, Danny Elfman, and John Williams, and has a strong record of bridging classical music with pop-culture audiences.
The Game at the Heart of the Concert
Elden Ring, produced by FromSoftware Inc. and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., is the largest game ever developed by the Japanese studio best known for the Dark Souls series.
The action role-playing game is set in a dark fantasy world of vast landscapes, perilous dungeons, and sprawling castles. Players can explore its interconnected environments either solo or cooperatively online. Its design was praised for allowing unprecedented levels of immersion, with environments ranging from grassy plains to swamps, spiraling mountains, and haunted ruins.
By translating these experiences into a concert format, the symphonic performance aims to replicate not just the score but the emotional arc of the game itself.
Roy Thomson Hall’s Broader Mission
For Roy Thomson Hall, the concert aligns with its broader strategy of blending traditional programming with contemporary cultural experiences. A registered not-for-profit, the venue devotes significant resources to community outreach, educational programming, and artist development.
Members of the Hall also gain access to exclusive benefits, ranging from advance ticket sales to special discounts and private lounge access. Membership fees support charitable programming, ensuring events like the Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure contribute to both cultural enrichment and community impact.
Opened in 1984 and designed by architect Arthur Erickson, Roy Thomson Hall remains one of Toronto’s most iconic cultural institutions. It serves as home to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra and frequently hosts gala screenings for the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Industry Impact and Global Reach
The production underscores the growing influence of video games on the performing arts industry. As the lines between entertainment mediums continue to blur, orchestras and venues are increasingly embracing gaming soundtracks to attract new audiences.
Bandai Namco Entertainment, which publishes Elden Ring and franchises such as Pac-Man, Tekken, and Dark Souls, has actively expanded its cultural footprint through multimedia collaborations. Its European division, headquartered in Lyon, has played a central role in adapting intellectual properties for broader audiences across EMEA and ANZ markets.
For Overlook Events, the project further consolidates its position as a leader in global orchestral productions linked to major franchises. By blending classical performance with pop-culture storytelling, the company has tapped into a lucrative and fast-growing sector of the live entertainment market.
