The “Black Myth: Wukong” Symphony Concert is set to take place at the MGM Theatre in Cotai on February 1 and 2, with the event to feature a selection of music from the award-winning 2024 action role-playing game by Shenzhen-based Game Science.
The game “embodies a deep traditional cultural heritage and showcases the richness of the Chinese tradition”, according to a statement by integrated resort operator MGM.
The show, produced by Poly Performing Arts in conjunction with “Black Myth: Wukong”*, is also set to premiere three new songs, the statement said. Scenes from the game will also be played during the performances, which take place at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on the two dates.
The upcoming performance represents the concert’s “initial move towards engaging a global audience”, according to the statement, and follows on successful performances in Chinese cities such as Harbin, Nanjing, Taiyuan and Wuhan.
Showcasing the AAA game’s scenes, the statement said that MGM COTAI’s theatre is complete with a 900-square-metre 4K LED screen – the size of three tennis courts – and “is the world’s first theatre capable of offering 28-million-pixel of viewing pleasure to its audience”.
The statement added that the theatre also uses L-ISA, an “immersive sound technology that overcomes the difficulties of traditional amplification methods to create a multidimensional auditory experience”, accurately reproducing each in-game sound detail.
Tickets are priced between 180 yuan (197 patacas) and 880 yuan (963 patacas). More details can be found on https://www.mgm.mo/en/cotai/entertainment/wukongsymphonyconcert
