ALL THE BIG REMAINING SUMMER CONCERT TOURS
You will see Orbison brought to life on stage using digital and laser technology and theatrical stagecraft. He will perform his hits as well as newly recorded and never-before-heard arrangements of his originals.
„This is going to be a milestone moment in the live entertainment space and we are excited to present it to the public where audiences are not simply watching a show, but are drawn into an ultra-realistic experience where fantasy becomes reality by suspending disbelief,“ said Brian Becker, Founder & CEO, BASE Entertainment and BASE Hologram.
This tour, directed Eric Schaeffer (Broadway’s „Million Dollar Quartet), will allow fans to experience Orbison and his trademark three-octave range voice.
„I’ve seen first-hand the impact artists like Roy Orbison have had on today’s generation,“ said Schaeffer. „What many younger music fans may not realize is just what Orbison meant to his industry and our musical culture. He was an amazing song-writer, singer and performer who is responsible for a stunning catalogue of hits. This production is about putting the spotlight back on the creative genius of Roy Orbison and to be able to share it with all the generations.“
„My father had a special transcendent vocal ability that made him something of an anomaly in the world of pop and rock, but that’s what endeared him to his fans,“ said Alex Orbison, President Roy Orbison Music. „For our family it was an amazing emotional experience to see this for the first time and we know audiences worldwide will have the same reaction.“
