This fantastic concert will combine symphonic music with stage technology, bringing families and children into the world of Frozen.
In the concert, the Macao Orchestra will perform a number of classic film scores from Disney’s Frozen, 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. In addition, equipped with the world-class stage and audiovisual technology, the theatre was officially recognized by Disney as its concert venue in Macao last year. This year, it will once again become the performance venue for “Disney’s Frozen in Concert Film with Live Orchestra”.
The concert features a lineup of world-class musicians and singers from home and abroad. Under the baton of the Assistant Conductor of the Macao Orchestra Tony Cheng-Te Yeh, the Macao Orchestra 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, jointly perform the film scores and songs from Disney’s Frozen.
