This concert brings the music of the NieR video game series to the stage at Bellco Theatre, performed by a full orchestra. Expect the lush, melancholy scores composer Keiichi Okabe built for those games, choral voices layered over strings, piano lines that carry a lot of emotional weight.
It draws heavily on classical and impressionist textures, so fans of orchestral film and game scores will feel at home even without knowing the source material. For longtime players, hearing these themes performed live tends to hit differently.
