The concerts will be centered around three instruments that have played key roles in past Zelda games: the ocarina (Ocarina of Time), harp (Skyward Sword) and accordion (Breath of the Wild). Tickets cost between 7,500 Yen for regular seats and 12,000 Yen for so-called “Master Seats”, which also include several Zelda-themed goodies.
The conductor for the concerts will be Taizo Takemoto, who served in the same role for the Majora’s Mask 3D concert in 2o15 and the Zelda 30th anniversary concert in 2016. The concerts in Tokyo will be performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, while the Osaka show will be performed by the Japan Century Symphony Orchestra.

Nintendo is no stranger to orchestrated live concerts thanks to its long-running The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses concert tour. Now, Nintendo is giving a similar treatment to a certain famous plumber and his arch-nemesis.
Announced today via Famitsu, Super Mario Orchestra Concert – “Koopa (Bowser) is the Hero!?” will be part of the KYOTO CMEX2018 (Kyoto Cross-Media Experience festival). A total of three shows will be held during the festival: at 6 PM on September 15th, at 1 PM on September 16th and finally at 5 PM on September 16th (all times JST). Ticket prices range from 1,000 to 8,500 Yen.
As the name of the concert implies, it seems like a special focus will be given to Bowser and his various themes from across the series. The concert will feature a variety of songs from many different Mario games, from the original Super Mario Bros. all the way to Super Mario Odyssey.
