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.
Innovative Instrumental Theatre
"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.
Star-Studded Production
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.
