Sounds and Sorcery celebrating Disney FANTASIA is a modern, innovative multi-sensory show that brings to life the world's most iconic classical music through unique installations, theatrical performances and technical wizardry. Audience members are invited to step inside The Vaults maze of tunnels in Waterloo, London, where, wearing individual headphones, the orchestra will guide them on an interactive concert experience combining cutting edge binaural sound, 3D projections, elaborate set designs and dazzling lighting effects.

Arrive at your destination underneath Waterloo station, collect your headphones at the door and step inside the tunnels. It's time for a dance with a funky hippo, walk in a prehistoric wasteland, seek out the fairies in a magical forest and, if you dare, sneak into the Sorcerer's lair.

Live performances will feature The Vaults' own interpretations of characters inspired by Fantasia. The full cast includes Natasha Volley who will play the Sorcerer with Anna Alvarez, Samuel Cole and Molly Scott as the three Brooms in The Sorcerer's Apprentice, and Miranda Menzies, Angelo Paragoso, Phil Sealey, Janina Smith take on the roles of a Crocodile, Hippo, Elephant and Ostrich, respectively, in The Dance of the Hours.

Under the musical direction of Stephen Higgins, a 96-piece orchestra has created a new recording especially for the experience, featuring The Sorcerer's Apprentice, The Rite of Spring, Night on Bald Mountain, Nutcracker Suite, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, Dance of the Hours and Ave Maria.

Sounds and Sorcery celebrating Disney FANTASIA is directed by Daisy Evans, the founder and Artistic Director of Silent Opera whose work focuses on the use of headphones to bring classical music to new audiences. Design for the production has been created by Kitty Callister in collaboration with a variety of artists who have created the installations including David Gregory Sound Designer, Doug Foster Video Designer, Jake Wiltshire Lighting Designer and Andy George Production Manager.
