Ara’Kus on Film Part II

On July 31st, 2010, the Symphonic/Operatic heavy metal band, Ara’Kus, will take the stage at the Historic Everett Theater to deliver a performance unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.

Aeterno Elementum tells a sweeping story of betrayal and tragedy that will leave viewers in shock. This chilling story will be told not only through the music, but also through performers of all types. Actors will bring to life the events of the tales, while martial artists and dancers of various sorts amaze the audience and create a sense of intense spectacle.

Despite the actors and the performers, the music is still center stage. The compositions feature complex, classically influenced progressions that will appeal to even non-fans of heavy metal and showcase several operatic vocalists as well as a full chorus and string section. Apart from the heavy metal fare, several more traditional classical pieces will be featured, including acapella performances from the Ara’Kus Chorus, orchestrated pieces featuring operatic soprano Whitney Burdge and tenor Jeremiah Johnson, classical guitar interludes by Randy Haines and other unexpected performances.

Tickets are only $10 for the first performance. Call 425-258-6766 for ticketing info!
