Dates: 21 Nov 2026 · 8pm to 10.15pm
ATLUS’s Metaphor: ReFantazio has a sweeping soundtrack by Shoji Meguro, the composer behind the Persona series. After a sold-out 2025 premiere in Japan, its orchestral tour is going abroad, and Singapore gets one night at Esplanade Theatre: a 45-piece orchestra, choir and vocalists, with cutscenes synced on screen.

Why go?
It’s the score performed in full force: a 45-piece orchestra with a choir and vocalists, performed by the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra (Singapore).
Cutscenes play in sync on a screen above the stage, so it’s closer to replaying the game than a standard concert.
It’s one night only, on a tour of eight cities across three continents.
What to do
01 · Listen for the big themes
The Esplanade listing highlights ‘Ode to Heroes’, ‘King of Destruction’ and ‘Prelude to a Heroic Tale’. If you haven’t finished the game, cutscenes on screen may include spoilers (suggestion).
02 · Shop the merch early
There’s exclusive event-only merchandise. Arrive early and buy before the show or during the 20-minute interval, as queues build after (suggestion).
03 · Make it a game-music week
World of Warcraft: 20 Years of Music plays the same theatre two nights earlier, on 19 November. Fans of both can do the pair (suggestion).
