A female narrator begins speaking, as a clamor of voices vocalizing Disney arias and chants are heard: The show begins with a female vocalizing to the tune of the EPCOT Anthem. The lit torches around the World Showcase Lagoon are extinguished and the park's lighting is dimmed. Harmonious played its final performance on April 2, 2023, two days after the culmination of Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary celebration, with Epcot Forever returning in its place the following night. On September 11, 2022, at D23 2022, it was announced that Harmonious would be replaced with another nighttime spectacular in 2023 during Disney's 100th anniversary. The livestream is reported be removed from Disney+ on May 26, 2023. On June 21, 2022, a special livestream of the show was broadcast on Disney+, hosted by Idina Menzel with narration by Auliʻi Cravalho and the music performed by a live orchestra, choir, mariachi band, gospel choir, and singers. Originally set to premiere in 2020 after the limited run of its direct predecessor Epcot Forever, the show was delayed to September 29, 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show was first announced at the biennial D23 Destination D event in 2018. Told through reimagined and reinterpreted Disney visuals and music by 240 international artists, the show was divided into three chapters: "Gather", "Celebrate", and "Unite". Ĭonceptualized by then-chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products and former CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Bob Chapek, and developed further by Disney Live Entertainment under the direction of its Vice President of Parades and Spectaculars, Steve Davison, Harmonious was a celebration of the Disney stories and songs that have inspired and empowered the world, emphasizing its ability to unite people from all walks of life. Harmonious was described as the largest nighttime spectacular ever created by Disney Live Entertainment. The primary show equipment was notably housed on a collective of floating barges that were permanently moored at the center of the lagoon. The show utilized pyrotechnics, choreographed water fountains, water curtains, lasers, searchlights, and LED screens to present a 360° audio-visual experience on the park's World Showcase Lagoon. Serving as the long-term replacement of IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth, Harmonious showcased and celebrated the cultures and stories of the world that have inspired various Disney films and music, and how it can unite us all, overcoming any language or border.
Harmonious was a multimedia, fireworks-based nighttime spectacular at Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida.
