In the belly of the "Durian" with Dr. Foo:D
It was such an overwhelming night at Esplanade theatre, I was swept off my feet!
Victorians' well-acclaimed performance really aroused our respect and admiration for the school. Tonight, we saw a dynamic Victoria, a brooding site of future dream-pursuers.
It made you have an imperial feeling when sitting in that grand theatre with acoustic ceilings and sound-proof curtains. The dome-shaped ceiling and the gigantic chandeliar added to the great effect. It was in there where only internationally recognised actors and actresses could display their talents, hundreds of Victorians including the principal Mr Chan put up a wonderful performance with a combination of choir, symphony band, dance, drama, singing, and even magic shows! Some of the performers including emcees were ex-Victorians. On them, I see a rising generation of youth, full of dreams and vibrance. I am proud of them.
The most anticipated show was the song by VJ Choir, ranking No.7 in the world and consisting of a group of highly-talented, united and versatile youths. Following the Choir, VJ Band brought the night into its prime. Throughout the performance, VJ Band perfectly showed its breathtaking skills at playing all kinds of tunes. It actually contributed to almost all the accompaniments of the night's shows. There were quite a few highlights in the whole performance. The singing by the VJ alumini, 2006 Singapore Idol 2nd runner-up Jasmine Tye, the Piano Ensemble by four pianist, the Chinese song "Choice" by PVJ Mr Chan, the dance that had won the champion in Bacelona, the magic show by Magic Babe Ning and Wushu!
"Stunning" is the word~
However, my favourite pieces are not in the list. What drew my breath away were THE FOUR STRINGS OF CHANGE and THE GUITAR TRIO. In the "four strings of change", the composer atcually goes out of his way to combine chinese traditional instruments Gao Hu and Er Hu with western instruments Violin and Cello! The melodious tune really led me into another world. The joy was so great yet so ethereal. As for the "Guitar Trio", no matter it was classic guitar, electric guitar or bass, all the guitarist were doing a superb job. If only I can listen to that again.
Ok, the duty officer is driving us away, details next time.
