SINGAPORE- Sentosa’s signature Songs of the Sea show will make its final performance after a successful seven-year run on 4 May 2014.
Since its debut in March 2007, Songs of the Sea’s unique blend of live cast, dramatic effects and pyrotechnics has wowed close to 8.3 million visitors over more than 5,000 shows. The 25-minute show was produced by award-winning events company ECA2, the team behind the France World Football Cup Ceremony in 1998, the XXIX Olympic Games Ceremonies in 2008, and the Shanghai World Expo 2010.
Songs of the Sea, which has become a must-see attraction, is a visual feast featuring water geysers, aqua screens, fire jets, lasers and pyrotechnics with a “kelong” style backdrop in an outdoor theatre on the scenic Siloso beach. A live cast, with main character Li, his friends and an animated clown fish Oscar brings audiences on an underwater adventure to remember.
The show has seen strong popularity among locals and overseas visitors alike having won both local and international awards, including the prestigious THEA Award and Best Tourist Attraction in Southeast Asia in 2008. Today, Songs of the Sea continues to perform to packed audiences in its outdoor theatre, which sits up to 2,500, with its premium tickets sold out for nearly every show.
A brand new multi-sensory production will be unveiled in its place in June, as part of Sentosa’s efforts to refresh its iconic night show to remain attractive and relevant to both local residents and tourists.
