Metro Boomin with a full orchestra? This is what happens when trap goes to the opera.
For one night only, world famous producer Metro Boomin teamed up with Red Bull and Maestro Anthony Parnther to bring the West Coast premiere of Red Bull Symphonic to the iconic Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Fusing the worlds of hip-hop and classical music in unprecedented fashion, the sold-out musical event included special performances by John Legend, Swae Lee, NAV and Roisee.

Live orchestra makes Metro's 808s hit different — literally seismic.
Production
Red Bull threw Dolby Theatre money at a concert film. It shows.
Direction
Parnther conducts with the energy of someone who knows this is history.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This West Coast premiere followed Vienna and London dates, making it the first US stop in Red Bull's ongoing mission to mash classical institutions with contemporary culture.
Peter Lee Johnson's violin solos weren't just featured — they reimagined Metro's melodic hooks as legitimate classical motifs, essentially claiming trap music's place in compositional history.
