OMAHA SYMPHONY PRESENTS DISNEY TIM BURTON’S THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN CONCERT LIVE TO FILM
Concert Features Composer Danny Elfman’s Distinctive Score Performed Live to the Film
Conducted by Ernest Richardson on October 24 and 25
OMAHA, Neb., October 14, 2026 – The Omaha Symphony will present Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in Concert Live to Film featuring the contemporary holiday classic on the big screen in full symphonic glory with GRAMMY®-winning composer Danny Elfman’s musical score performed live to the film by the Omaha Symphony. The concert will be led by conductor Ernest Richardson and performed at the Holland Center on October 24 and 25.
First released in 1993, TIM BURTON’S THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS was directed by Henry Selick (JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH) and based on a story and characters by Tim Burton. Bored with the same old scare-and-scream routine, Pumpkin King Jack Skellington longs to spread the joy of Christmas. But his merry mission puts Santa in jeopardy and creates a nightmare for good little boys and girls everywhere.
Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in Concert Live to Film is presented by the Omaha Symphony. For tickets and further information, visit omahasymphony.org.
The presentation is licensed by Disney Concerts.
Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas will be presented on Saturday, October 24 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 25 at 2:00 p.m. Rehearsals will take place the week of the concert. Media is welcome to attend with prior notice.
