Malaysia will host Disney’s The Lion King Live in Concert for the first time, marking a landmark collaboration with Istana Budaya’s National Symphony Orchestra in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026. The event will take place on 13 June 2026 at the KLCC Plenary Hall and is presented by Milestone Production. This spectacular showcase brings Disney’s beloved 1994 animated masterpiece to life through a breathtaking live-to-film concert experience.
Audiences in Malaysia will relive the magic of the Pride Lands as the full film is screened on a big screen, accompanied by a 72-piece orchestra performing the iconic score live in perfect synchronization with the film, creating a truly immersive cinematic experience. This world-class production will be performed by the National Symphony Orchestra Malaysia under the baton of Resident Conductor Eric Lee, who is recognized and approved by Disney Concerts for his technical precision, musical excellence and ability to meet international performance standards.
The orchestra will bring to life the unforgettable score created by an acclaimed team of Oscar and Grammy-winning talents, including composer Hans Zimmer, songwriters Elton John and Tim Rice, as well as South African music producer and composer Lebo M, whose voice and musical influence helped define The Lion King. Since its original release in 1994 by Walt Disney Animation Studios, The Lion King has captivated millions worldwide with its timeless story of courage, love and destiny. From the powerful opening of “Circle of Life” to the joyful “Hakuna Matata” and the romantic “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” the live performance of the soundtrack will transport audiences deep into the African savannah, making it a must-see experience for families, friends and Disney fans of all ages.
