You are here: SmartShanghai > SmartTicket > London Symphony Orchestra
The London Symphony Orchestra is widely regarded as one of the world's leading orchestras. The LSO's roster of soloists and conductors is second to none, including LSO President Sir Colin Davis, Principal Conductor Valery Gergiev, André Previn as Conductor Laureate, and Daniel Harding and Michael Tilson Thomas as Principal Guest Conductors. Bernard Haitink, Pierre Boulez and Sir Simon Rattle are also regular guests.
The LSO recorded the scores for all the Star Wars films as well as Superman and Raiders of the Lost Arc, and has been known to drop the odd film score into its performances or encores. But for this two-night performance in Shanghai, the orchestra is presenting works by Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky and more.

Benjamin Britten - Four Sea Interludes
Shostakovich - Violin Concerto No. 1 (Voilin:Sarah Chang)
Tchaikovsky - Symphony No. 6
March 5 Programme
Tchaikovsky - Romeo and Juliet overture (1880 version)
Prokofiev - Piano Concerto No. 3 (Piano: Denis Matsuev)
Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5


Can I chose a specific seat ?
Unfortunatly, no. Ticketing systems in China vary from venue to venue, and many are not sufficiently sophisticated to offer specific seat selection. The event promoters and venues we work with have no setup that allows third party ticketing agents to access to their respective floor plans. However, when you buy a ticket from us, you will automatically receive the best available seats within the category that you've chosen.
I live outside Shanghai. Can I still buy tickets ?
Yes, we can mail tickets to any city within China, but you need to bank transfer the purchase amount before we place the order for the tickets. Please proceed with the ticket booking, and we'll email you the bank account details once we've received your ticket order.
My friends also want to order. Is there a way we can sit together ?
Yes. Our "Invite a Friend" feature allows you to invite your friends to join you at the event and be seated with you. You will only be responsible for buying your own ticket, and SmartTicket will coordinate with your friend(s) to secure their booking(s) and to ensure you all sit together. It's easy to use: simply go ahead and book your own ticket and the "Invite a Friend" option will be offered to you at the final step. Please note, selecting this feature guarantees surrounding seats to your own will set aside for a maximum of 6 hours only.
How do I pay for my tickets?
You pay our delivery staff directly upon delivery of your tickets (cash or local Union Pay card with pin code). We accept payments in Chinese Yuan only. Please email us if you need a company fapiao.
