The Iconic Sounds of Oz Come to Sphere

There’s Dorothy and ‘Over the Rainbow’ as you heard them before, and there is Dorothy and ‘Over the Rainbow’ as you hear them now, with the film’s classic music taking on new clarity and immersion through Sphere Immersive Sound. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere leverages newly discovered archival material along with the venue’s audio technologies, including infrasound and haptic seats – both used in new ways – to create an experience that remains true to the filmmakers’ intent while bringing it new life. To take advantage of Sphere Immersive Sound’s 167,000 programmable speakers, and ability to direct sound anywhere in the venue, the original film’s mono score has been re-recorded on the original sound stage to take on new clarity via Sphere Immersive Sound, while preserving the casts’ vocal performances. The Wizard of Oz at Sphere is a fully immersive experience that makes audiences feel like they have stepped inside the film.
