Romania's MetalHead.ro has issued an interview with THERION, in which they discuss, among other topics, their upcoming show in Bucharest (December 9th) alongside the Romanian Symphonic Orchestra.
The following is an excerpt from the interview:
Q: This is your first concert alongside many artists from the classical scene. Seeing that this is a second collaboration with this type of artists since the recordings of Lemuria and Sirius B, are you prepared for this event? Are you as thrilled and as excited as your fans are?
A: "Actually we performed live with orchestra on a festival in 1999. But then it was just with a small string quartet.
This is the first time we play with such a huge ensable though and it is indeed the first time we will be performing classical pieces. It will be a fantastic event and even though other bands before us have played live with orchestra, I don’t think anyone ever have done it with such a huge ensemble (170 people including choir) and neither did any rock band perform parts of operas like this either.
There will also be an amazing scenery, we will not just stand on a stage with orchestra, it will be a lot of efforts and money spent on making the experience for the visitor a complete revelation."
