The enduring 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz gets the Arsht Center treatment. Dorothy and her friends and her little dog Toto do battle with the Wicked Witch of the West as the Miami Symphonic Studio Orchestra performs the tuneful score by Harold Arlen and Herbert Stothart. The Wizard of Oz was a technical marvel for the MGM studio, and today MGM has stunningly re-mastered this timeless classic. The brilliantly restored images are accompanied by full symphony orchestra playing entirely new transcriptions of Harold Arlens brilliant lost scores. You’ll hear Judy Garlands original 1939 studio recordings, backed by lush, live orchestration. Tickets range from $35 to $85.
