Metallica S&M returns
After the huge success in 2021, the Metallica S&M show is returning to the Czech Republic.
Orion Orchestra, along with one of the best tribute bands in the world, is once again coming to the Czech Republic. This classical-rock spectacle has already thrilled nearly 500,000 fans worldwide. The show inspired by the legendary album "S & M" by Metallica brings a unique combination of violins and guitars on one stage. Experience the new stage show ORION with frontman Tobias Regner, who in 2006 became the first rock singer to win the Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS) competition.
Rock and classical music on one stage
The combination of a symphonic orchestra and Metallica's music has only been performed live on rare occasions. In Berlin in 1999, the song "Nothing Else Matters" was performed with an orchestra – it was the only European performance of its kind. Shortly thereafter, on 6 December, the legendary album "S & M" by Metallica reached number one on the German charts.
Orion Orchestra connects the hard riffs of Metallica's greatest hits with symphonic arrangements, supported by a rock band. With an emphasis on detail, a captivating fusion of rock and classical music is created here.
110 minutes of energy, passion, impressive live music, and a magnificent stage show – an unforgettable experience for all Metallica music fans.
