Discovery Presents Bugs Bunny at the Symphony is a 130-minute concert with one 20-minute intermission. “It’s one of the pre-eminent venues of its kind in the world, and we will start a new tradition where decades more of multi-generational audiences can revel in the brilliance of Bugs Bunny and his Looney Tunes.” “We are especially excited to be performing at The Microsoft Theater,” added Daugherty. More importantly, it’s a chance for adults of all ages to rekindle their affection for these brilliant, animated shorts and relive a truly nostalgic and magical part of their childhoods.”ĭaugherty noted that the July 30 Microsoft Theater performance would feature animation-friendly activities in the theater’s foyer before showtime, including Animation Stations provided by the Chuck Jones Center for Creativity and numerous photo ops for audience members of all ages. “ Bugs Bunny at the Symphony is the perfect opportunity to bring today’s kids to the symphony orchestra and appreciate the beauty of classical music while getting a hilarious twist from Bugs Bunny and his cohorts. “When we were all growing up and watching Looney Tunes on Saturday morning, we didn’t realize we also getting a massive lesson in classical music,” said Daugherty. The 16 Looney Tunes included in the production's latest version include “What’s Opera, Doc?,” “The Rabbit of Seville,” “Baton Bunny,” “Long-Haired Hare,” and “Corny Concerto,” plus five new animated shorts – Rabid Rider, Coyote Falls, Fur of Flying, Dynamite Dance, and Wet Cement with classically-infused scores played live. It first premiered in Los Angles in 1991.
