Attack on Titan – Symphony from Paradis is the first-ever official orchestral concert built around the soundtrack of Attack on Titan, with more than 100 musicians and a live choir performing newly arranged scores under giant HD video projection. Hong Kong gets its date on Sunday 1 November 2026.

What is Attack on Titan – Symphony from Paradis?
Billed by organisers as a “colossal symphonic event,” Symphony from Paradis is described as the first-ever official orchestral concert built around the music of Attack on Titan, the manga-turned-anime series whose soundtrack has become almost as iconic as its story. Rather than a screening with a live band, this is a newly created symphonic arrangement of the show's score, performed live by an orchestra and choir of more than 100 musicians, with HD video projected on a giant screen in sync with the music.
The concert leans into the emotional range of the original soundtrack — tension, urgency, strength and melancholy — rather than simply replaying familiar cues, giving longtime fans of the series a different way to experience music they already know well. For context on how anime and manga culture is showing up elsewhere in the city this year, see our guide to M+'s Myths, Monsters and Manga exhibition, which explores fantasy imagery across Asian visual culture, manga included.
Attack on Titan – Symphony from Paradis
This is a fully seated concert, unlike the standing-only shows AsiaWorld-Arena often hosts for pop acts. Age restrictions apply: seated zone entry is 13 or above, and minors must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or above. The concert is presented in Hong Kong by Sound of Faeries Limited.
The composers behind the music
The new symphonic arrangements are curated and supervised by Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto, the composers behind the original Attack on Titan score. Sawano's soundtrack work — built on a mix of orchestral scale, choral chanting and rock instrumentation — is one of the most widely recognised anime scores of the last decade, and its live reinterpretation with a full orchestra and choir is the centrepiece of this concert format.
According to the official listing, the production is designed to "unleash the full dramatic impact of the series' iconic themes," pairing the live musicians with video projection timed precisely to the score rather than treating the visuals as a simple backdrop.
Getting there and what to expect
AsiaWorld-Arena sits inside the AsiaWorld-Expo complex on Chek Lap Kok, next to Hong Kong International Airport, and is directly served by AsiaWorld-Expo MTR station, the western terminus of the Airport Express line. Tung Chung line trains also run to the station on major event nights to help manage crowds; the journey from Hong Kong Station (Central) takes roughly 25–30 minutes on the Airport Express.
Because this is a seated show, arrive with enough time to find your section before the 8:00pm start — unauthorised photography and recording are prohibited inside the hall, and large bags, professional cameras and audio recorders must be left at the baggage counter or lockers.

This is one of a run of international dates for Symphony from Paradis, with the production also confirmed for other major cities as part of its world tour. For Hong Kong audiences, it is a rare chance to hear a beloved anime score performed live by a full orchestra rather than through a soundtrack playlist — and to see it staged in the same arena that has hosted some of the city's biggest 2026 concerts, from stadium pop shows to K-pop world tours.
