What to Expect

  • 1.You’ll see classic Bugs Bunny cartoons on a big screen while the Detroit Opera Orchestra performs the original scores live. Watch for the conductor cues and how the music mirrors the animation.
  • 2.Arrive early to snag good seats at the Detroit Opera House and soak in the pre-show atmosphere; it’s a formal, seated concert hall, so settle in before the lights go down.
  • 3.Concessions and bars are usually available, so plan snacks or drinks before or during intermission; if you’re with kids, bring a few treats and keep an eye on the timing.
  • 4.Downtown parking can fill up, so allow extra time and consider rideshare; the venue is accessible, but there can be stairs or elevators to navigate.
  • 5.If you’re new to live-score screenings, the thrill is watching the animation sync to live music—it's a nostalgic, fun experience that works for families and music lovers alike.
