Disney favourites brought to life

The Metropolitan Festival Orchestra, which is staging the show, will bring Disney favourites to life. The show, entitled Disney on Classic ~ A Magical Night will run for two nights, on 16 and 17 July 2015, at The Star Performing Arts Centre. Tickets for the show will go on sale on 29 April at all SISTIC outlets.

Disney on Classic ~ A Magical Night is the most successful live orchestral show in the Disney franchise to date. After 12 years of sold out performances in Japan, the show will finally make its debut in Singapore – its first stop in South East Asia.

Led by the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra

Led by legendary Disney music maestro Brad Kelley, the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra, together with eight international singers will deliver a full length concert which will showcase the most beloved tunes from the famed Walt Disney Studios songbook. They will be joined by members of The Orchestra JAPAN, including concertmaster Takashi Aoki.

Said Katsunori Kusakabe, Executive Producer at Harmony JAPAN, the producers of Disney on Classic, “We are delighted to present our Japanese-born Disney on Classic production for the very first time in Singapore – the beautiful country where Eastern and Western cultures meet.”

Hopes to bring smiles to the faces of Singaporeans through the show

He continued, “As we embark on this ‘journey of dreams’ with the wonderful music of Disney, we look forward to bringing many smiles to the faces of Singapore’s audiences, and invite them to enjoy a truly magical night with us. It is also very exciting for Harmony JAPAN to be working with Singapore’s own Metropolitan Festival Orchestra for these performances, as I know that a beautiful and exhilarating orchestral experience will be born out of this collaboration.”

Disney movies that will feature in the show

Some of the well-known Disney movies that will feature in this show – in terms of both scenes as well as music – will include Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Tangled, Frozen, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. The footage from these movies will be screened using an immense cinematic screen suspended overhead. The organisers hope that this would create a majestic and immersive experience for everyone.

Open auditions to cast Princess Anna from Frozen
