St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert

St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert at Powell Symphony Hall

Some holiday traditions live on a screen. This one fills a hall. On December 13, 2026, at 7:00 PM, The Muppet Christmas Carol in Concert comes to Powell Symphony Hall in St. Louis, and the film you may already know by heart gets a bigger, richer sound than any living room can give it.

Here is the heart of the night. The movie plays onscreen while the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra performs Miles Goodman's score live to picture. The characters stay right where you expect them, up on the screen. The music comes from real musicians, in real time, in the same room as you. Evan Roider conducts, joined by members of the chorus. That pairing turns a familiar story into something you feel as well as watch, because every musical moment is being made in front of you.

That is what makes it worth leaving the couch. You can watch a holiday favorite anytime, but you can't hear an orchestra bring it to life from home. Plan an evening in St. Louis around it. Bring the family member who knows every scene, or the friend who always says they want to do something festive. Sitting together while a full orchestra and chorus carry the story is the kind of outing people remember, and it gives your December a night that is more than another item on the to-do list.
