Sentosa’s signature Songs of the Sea Show to make last act on 4 May

Tickets are on discount.

According to a release, Sentosa’s signature Songs of the Sea show will make its final performance after a successful seven-year run on 4 May 2014. More than 5,000 tickets at a 50 per cent discount will be offered on Sentosa’s Facebook page, starting from today.

Since its debut in March 2007, Songs of the Sea’s 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 is a visual show 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.

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 audiences in its outdoor theatre, which sits up to 2,500, with its premium tickets sold out for nearly every show.

“Songs of the Sea has successfully set standards for the night scene in Singapore. The appeal of our iconic show remains as strong as ever, and it continues to be one of the most sought-after attractions in Singapore. Nevertheless, given Sentosa’s commitment to refresh our attractions on a regular basis and provide best-in-class experiences, we have commissioned a new show that I am confident will inspire and captivate the imagination of our guests,” said Mr Mike Barclay, CEO of Sentosa Development Corporation.

The arena doors will reopen again this June.
