[SYD] Play - A Video Game Symphony
 
Dean Millson
I just read about this and it looks pretty ing cool imo. Thought some of the Sydney TA's might be interested :)

Giant screens... A full orchestra and choir... A superstar conductor... And the epic sounds of video games. This is PLAY! A video game symphony.

Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solid, HALO, Castlevania, World of Warcraft, Kingdom Hearts, The Legend of Zelda, Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog... over 20 blockbuster video games at the Sydney Opera House in a polyphonic, sight-and-sound, live music extravaganza.

Performed by the Sydney Symphony with PLAY! Principal Conductor and Music Director Arnie Roth, PLAY! features award-winning music from the biggest and best video games around. And then there's the graphics. Massive screens, cinematic in scope, suspended over the orchestra - showing stunning gameplay sequences


Hope it comes to Melbourne, but i doubt it :(

There is a similar thing coming to Melbourne...

The Eminence Symphony Orchestra will be performing in Melbourne and Sydney in late April with ‘A Night in Fantasia 2007 - Symphonic Games Edition’. The 60-piece orchestra will be joined by a 30-piece choir and live game footage, as musical scores from popular videogame franchises are brought to life. The lineup will include Super Mario Bros., Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft, Shadow of the Colossus, Tales of Legendia, Xenosaga, Chrono Cross, Soul Calibur, and more.
