Wander along this multi-sensory trail and discover how tradition and technology bring new life into iconic motifs and cultural touchstones. One unmissable highlight is the awe-inspiring 7.2-metre Peranakan House located at Lookout Loop. By day, it serves as a striking photo backdrop. Still, by night, it morphs into a luminous projection-mapped canvas, unveiling a curated tableau of photographs that document the vibrancy and spirit of diverse Peranakan communities.
Continue your journey at the Field of Beaded Bloom, where 198 intricate panels shimmer with bold reinterpretations of traditional beaded slippers. A pair of enormous beaded slippers anchors the installation, while a breathtaking evening light show brings batik motifs dancing to life, inviting awe from all corners. Meanwhile, the Giant in Grace exhibits along The Walkway transform resting spots into unexpected galleries—oversized storage jars, sparkling sequined artworks, and massive Peranakan icons reveal themselves anew through the creative lens of your camera, offering surprising perspectives and fresh delight.
Beyond the visual spectacle, “Peranakan Reimagined” beckons you to participate through hands-on workshops, captivating performances, and culinary encounters that bridge past and present. Whether you’re a culture connoisseur, a family searching for a meaningful connection, or simply seeking a vibrant day out, this showcase at Sensoryscape is the quintessential celebration of Singapore’s living heritage.

From 21 June to 26 July 2025, the festival stage will transform every Saturday night, inviting new and seasoned audiences alike to revel in the power of live opera, experiencing the artistry, colour, and expressive traditions of five local opera troupes, each representing a distinct Chinese dialect—Teochew, Hainanese, Cantonese, Peking, and Yue.
In a masterstroke of curation, a different troupe will bring its hallmark style to the fore each weekend. From the hauntingly lyrical Peking opera to the dynamic storytelling of Cantonese and Teochew forms, the festival is a tapestry of Singapore’s rich multicultural heritage. Inclusive touches, such as bilingual surtitles, ensure everyone—regardless of background or language skills—can be swept away by the poignant tales, stirring melodies, and masterful performances. Alongside the main stage, the festival pulses with life through thoughtfully programmed fringe activities: movement workshops for all ages, illuminating artist talks, and the wisdom of Cultural Medallion recipient Joanna Wong, Stewards of Intangible Cultural Heritage Award, and Young Artist Award winner Cai Bixia—ensuring every visit is as enlightening as it is entertaining.
But this is more than a performance calendar; it’s a vibrant promise for the future of traditional arts, a showcase that underscores the festival’s deep commitment to preserving and evolving the operatic tradition. Whether your heart beats a little faster at the sound of a gong or you are discovering the magic of Chinese opera for the first time, the Chinese Opera Festival is your invitation to witness a living heritage—and become a patron for its enduring future.
