Epica - Will Perform A Classical Show


The Miskolc International Opera Festival proudly announces that Epica will be performing a classical show with symphonic orchestra and choir.

The "Epica: The Classical Conspiracy Show" is going to be a very unique event, because the Dutch symphonic-metal band will play a very specific musical program. They will perform classical pieces from Mozart, Dvorak, Verdi, Orff, Prokofiev, Grieg, Vivaldi in Epica's style and of course symphonic versions of Epica songs. Some Epica songs will be rewritten - to make it more bombastic - only for this event. Moreover there will be other surprises as well.

The Epica classical show is going to start on 14.06.2008 at 21:00.

a good orchestra has more sonic power than just about ANY metal band. check out a live performance of something like Gustav Mahler's 2nd symphony if you don't believe me. when they get to the end of the final movement, the (large) choir and (large) orchestra, incl. pipe organ, are blasting away and shaking the room. if you think classical is boring, you're listening to the wrong stuff.

Rumors are going around in Hungary that it's pretty sure that it won't be recorded. So I guess the only way to see it is to actually come...

As previously stated, Epica are playing a special show with full orchestra and choir in Miskolc, Hungary on June 14th.

Well, that was a mind-blowing show yesterday!
The only thing that I pity is that Simone didn't come out to the fans 1 hour later to give autographs. Everyone of the band was there, but her...

Camera friendly??? After the classical part they said they'd take away our cameras if we keep recording videos... I wouldn't really call that camera friendly. Though photos were allowed.
