Naruto: The Symphonic Experience orchestral concert is coming to North America next year, for the first time ever! GEA Live, Un Pour Tous Productions, RoadCo Entertainment, and VIZ Media are behind the tour. This is part of more anime-themed concerts coming to America.

Here is the official site where you can get your tickets. The site gave this description for Naruto: The Symphonic Experience :
NARUTO: The Symphonic Experience is a live concert that brings the beloved anime to life on a grand scale. This two-hour event features a film montage of iconic scenes from over 220 episodes, synchronized to a live orchestra performing Toshio Masuda’s original score. Fans will relive Naruto Uzumaki’s journey to become Hokage, facing rivalries, challenges, and growth along the way.
The orchestra performs not only Masuda’s unforgettable soundtrack but also the series’ most famous openings and endings, inviting the audience to sing along with the music they love. This interactive element draws fans closer to Naruto, celebrating the powerful, shared bond the music creates.
The event will be in Japanese but will contain English subtitles. It will last about two and a half hours, with a 20-minute break for people to stretch or use the bathroom.
VIZ Media publishes the original Naruto manga by Masashi Kishimoto and gave this description for the first volume:
Twelve years ago the Village Hidden in the Leaves was attacked by a fearsome threat. A nine-tailed fox spirit claimed the life of the village leader, the Hokage, and many others. Today, the village is at peace and a troublemaking kid named Naruto is struggling to graduate from Ninja Academy. His goal may be to become the next Hokage, but his true destiny will be much more complicated. The adventure begins now!
