Macau’s Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC), Macao Orchestra Company and MGM are jointly organising the “Disney’s Frozen in Concert Film with Live Orchestra”, which will be held at MGM Cotai’s MGM Theater on 31 May and 1 June, in celebration of Children’s Day.
Children’s Day is celebrated every 1 June in Macau and mainland China, and every 4 April in Hong Kong and Taiwan, while other countries celebrate Children’s Day on various dates. In addition, the World Children’s Day is celebrated on 20 November.
The “Disney’s Frozen in Concert Film with Live Orchestra” will combine symphonic music with stage technology, bringing families and children into the world of the Disney blockbuster “Frozen”.
In the concert, the Macao Orchestra (OM) will perform several classic film scores from the movie, synchronised with the film screenings supported by a 900-square-metre backdrop of 28-million-pixel ultra-HD screen at MGM Theater, featuring a 19.1-point source L-ISA immersive sound system for unparalleled surround sound, allowing the audience to feel like as if they were in the wonderland of Frozen, according to a press release issued by IC.
Equipped with the world-class stage and audiovisual technology, MGM Theater was officially recognised by Disney as its concert venue in Macau last year.
This year, the local Disney concert will feature a line-up of world-class musicians and singers from home and abroad.
Under the baton of OM Assistant Conductor Tony Cheng-Te Yeh, OM and internationally acclaimed singers (including Alyssa Fox, who plays Elsa in the US Broadway tour of Frozen; Ray Liu, who dubbed and sang for the role of Anna in the Chinese version of the animated Frozen; RJ Woessner, who plays the warriors Kristoff and Hans; and CJ Tan, who plays Olaf; and the choir SEMISCON Vocal Band) will jointly perform the film scores and songs from Frozen.
The Disney film, released in 2013, won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, with some of the songs from the film gaining worldwide fame, particularly among children, including “Do You Want to Build a Snowman?”, “For the First Time in Forever”, as well as “Let It Go”, which also won the Oscar for Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards and three other accolades from the 57th Grammy Awards.
The Macao Orchestra 2024-25 Concert Season is co-organised by IC, Macao Orchestra Company and the city’s six integrated resort companies, with the support of BOC Macau.
Tickets to the two-hour Frozen concert, presented by MGM, are priced at MOP 300-600. For more information visit Macau Ticketing Network’s website or contact 2855 5555. – GNM
