Ding Yi Music Company is thrilled to announce the continuation of its family-friendly instrumental theatre concert series, in collaboration with the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC), featuring the timeless tale of Hua Mu Lan. Following the success of the inaugural edition “The Warlords,” which depicted the historical warfare story of the Chu-Han Contention, this all-local, star-studded production will immerse audiences in the expressive power of Chinese chamber music and immersive storytelling, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and history of China through the enduring legend of Hua Mu Lan.
“Hua Mu Lan” continues the innovative concept of instrumental theatre pioneered by Ding Yi, where instrumental performance serves as the main medium to depict characters’ feelings, intentions, and emotional turmoil. This approach reimagines traditional storytelling, offering audiences a unique and immersive theatrical experience with newly commissioned Chinese chamber music works.
Led by Resident Conductor Wong De Li, Dedric, and directed by Danny Yeo, “Hua Mu Lan” features music by young local composer Sulwyn Lok and a script by playwright Neo Hai Bin. The production showcases the legend of Hua Mu Lan through a music-focused theatrical experience. Actress Jodi Chan portrays Mu Lan, accompanied by Ding Yi yangqin musician Tan Jie Qing and the rest of the ensemble, conveying stories of love, betrayal, pride, patriotism, and fear through the unique sounds of each instrument.
Presented by SCCC and produced by Ding Yi Music Company, this production marks another milestone in the collaboration between the two organizations to develop and present programs that promote local Chinese arts and culture through Chinese chamber music.
“Hua Mu Lan” will be held on 15 September 2024 (Sunday) at the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre Auditorium, with performances at 3.30pm and 7.30pm. Tickets are available for public sale at $20 (excluding booking fees) on Ticketmaster from 8 August 2024.
