Edward Scissorhands in Concert

Experience Tim Burton's celebrated 1990 film Edward Scissorhands on the big screen while the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra performs Danny Elfman's ethereal, emotive score live under conductor Nicholas Buc. The PG-rated story follows Edward, a gentle artificial man with scissors for hands, as he enters a pastel suburban community, falls for Kim and confronts jealousy, suspicion and the pain of being misunderstood. The live-to-picture presentation is suited to film-music fans, Tim Burton and Danny Elfman devotees, families comfortable with a PG film, and orchestral newcomers. Performances: Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October 2026 at 7:30pm, Hamer Hall, Arts Centre Melbourne. Tickets: Standard $83-$127; Concession/Child $78-$122. An $8 transaction fee applies per order. Book through the official MSO ticket link. Hamer Hall is wheelchair, walker and scooter accessible; assistive listening devices are available; and service animals are permitted.
