“... It was the orchestra’s biggest production to date and popular soprano Tan Soo Suan had the audience eating out of her hand, asking for encore after encore...” NEW SUNDAY TIMES
“... LOVERS of shi dai qu (popular Chinese oldies of the 1930s-60s era) were treated to an evening of enchanting music and theatre that was almost aesthetically flawless in sight and sound...” NEW STRAITS TIMES
Synopsis
Dama Orchestra and Istana Budaya join forces to present Dama’s latest showcase ‘Love Without End’. This production pays tribute to the famous Chinese divas and movie stars from the golden age of Mandarin cinema when musical scores and songs were simply exquisite. Movie productions in the 30s-60s would not be complete without the obligatory signature tunes to take us on a turbulent journey of love, romance, heartache and heartbreak.
This music theatre production is a spin-off from Dama’s critically acclaimed production ‘Spring Kisses Lover’s Tears’, which was staged in Malaysia, Singapore and China. The songs are sung in Mandarin while the introduction is in English.
