Live concert of classic film Nightmare Before Christmas is coming to 3Arena in Dublin

A live concert of iconic film The Nightmare Before Christmas is coming to Dublin this December.

The performance of the classic Tim Burton film will see the RTE Concert Orchestra perform live at the 3Arena on December 8.

Performing his role of Jack Skellington, Danny Elfman will be joined by other original cast members Catherine O'Hara as Sally, and Ken Page as the voice of Oogie Boogie.

The concert comes as a part of the movie’s 25th anniversary celebrations.

Conductor John Mauceri, Founding Director of the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra, will be leading the RTE Concert Orchestra and a choir performing the film's classic score and songs live to picture.

The concert will also include featured violin soloist, Sandy Cameron.

A synopsis for the film reads: “The film follows the earnest-but-misguided adventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween Town's beloved Pumpkin King, as he attempts to take over the Christmas holiday.

“Against the advice of Sally, a lonely rag doll who has feelings for him, Jack enlists three mischievous trick-or-treaters – Lock, Shock, and Barrel – to help him kidnap Santa Claus.”
