On This Day - 22nd July #Reminders from FB#

 22nd July 2012

Her first kick-kock (her term for high heels) shoes. And she’s really happy with it; walked around the whole house with it. And it has a light behind! 

SSO Concerts in 2020

As much as I'd like to go for more concerts this year, I needed to cut down as I feel che-che will need the time for studying. So only went for 2 concerts this year.

The first concert was what I was looking forward to  - Joe Hisaishi's Concert on 22nd Feb. A separate entry was written, click here

2nd concert in 2020

29th Feb - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in Concert (with che-che only)

Experience the magic of the film with a live orchestra

The fourth installment of the Harry Potter™ film concert series with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire™ in concert.

The Harry Potter Film Concert Series returns to the Esplanade Theatre in Singapore with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire™ in Concert, the fourth film in the Harry Potter series. On February 28th and 29th, 2020, the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra will perform this magical score live from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire™ while the entire film plays in high-definition on a 40-foot screen.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire™, Harry Potter is mysteriously entered into the Triwizard Tournament, a grueling contest among three wizarding schools in which he confronts a dragon, water demons and an enchanted maze only to find himself in Lord Voldemort’s grasp. All will change when Harry, Ron and Hermione leave childhood forever and face challenges beyond their imagining.

I booked this in secrecy as I didn't want her to be so distracted. Nobody wore mask and I was worried.. May the fire and power of HP kill the coronavirus! 

I began to regret when I realised it's a movie length. Gasp! I thought it was just taking a selection of songs. (obviously I didn't read it properly) She enjoyed it coz HP's her favourite. 

3rd Apr - To Broadway, with Love

Come on along and listen to the glorious songs from Broadway!

The Singapore Symphony Orchestra performs unforgettable melodies from your favourite musicals from the Great White Way, including the absolute best music from The Sound of Music, The King and I, The Lion King, Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, amongst others.

Be charmed at an exuberant evening filled with great overtures, show stopping ballads, finger snapping, toe-tapping tunes and thrilling 11 o’clock numbers performed by distinguished vocalists coupled with the lush sound of a full symphonic orchestra.

Unfortunately this concert was cancelled. We were so looking forward to this as most of the songs are from our favourite musicals.

**************************

Months down the road, the world is in a virus apocalypse and many more concerts are cancelled. I still have two more tickets (che-che too!) that we need to redeem. Looks like things will only start in 2021?
