Beatrice Chia-Richmond & SAF all set for spectacular opening and closing ceremonies with 5,000 performers and volunteers
To “Celebrate the Extraordinary”, the 28th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games has set its sights on realising many firsts in Singapore history with a spectacular opening show on Jun 5, 2015.
Beatrice Chia-Richmond & SAF at the helm
The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) will helm the ceremonies through its Artillery Formation and will be supported by a distinguished creative team led by Beatrice Chia-Richmond, with about 5,000 performers and volunteers and 3,500 soldiers.
As Creative Director of the ceremonies Beatrice Chia-Richmond leads a team comprising several other talented individuals including Kenny Wong, Technical Director; Dr Sydney Tan, Music Director; Haresh Sharma, Writer & Co-Conceptualiser; Goh Boon Teck, Production Designer and Brian Gothong Tan, Multimedia Designer among others.
Spectacular Show to “Celebrate the Extraordinary”
The opening show will be the first of its kind on many levels – the largest and most spectacular extravaganza Singapore has had in the National Stadium; the most technically-demanding show to date – featuring an aerial system which will enable performers and props to ‘fly’ in a stadium for the first time in Singapore; the largest high-definition floor projection created by 160 multimedia projectors; and a first-in-Singapore audience interaction system, where all members of the audience will be given a medallion to wear and collectively form a giant LED video screen, thereby making the audience truly a part of the show.
The 28th SEA Games will be held from Jun 5 to 16, with Singapore Sports Hub as the main venue, in conjunction with Singapore’s 50th anniversary.
Tickets to the ceremonies are available for purchase. The sale of tickets to the competitions will commence in February. Visit www.seagames2015.com for more information.
