Inside The Arts House, one of Singapore’s oldest surviving government buildings, you will get to rediscover all the classic songs which guided Dorothy on her journey as you’ve never heard them before — as classical music compositions — in the grandeur of this epicenter of Singaporean culture.
The magic of The Wizard of Oz is proved by its popularity throughout generations — the story of Dorothy, her beloved Toto, and their journey into the Land of Oz has captivated audiences for nearly a century. Maybe it’s the magic of the adventure, or maybe it’s the timeless message about courage, friendship, and finding your way home, but the greatest part of its appeal lies in the unforgettable music, with songs like “Over the Rainbow” and “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” continuing to enchant listeners for each new generation. This Autumn, you get to relive the magic of the Land of Oz as The Wizard of Oz – A classical concert comes to Singapore.
Candlelight: The Wizard of Oz – A Classical Concert
Not many films are as synonymous with their soundtrack as The Wizard of Oz — its songs are truly at the soul of the story. Scenes like Dorothy’s first steps in the Land of Oz, the Scarecrow’s longing in “If I Only Had A Brain”, and the Tin Man’s wish for a heart are all communicated as much through the score as they are the script. Decades later, we’re still singing along and imagining a world where poppies really do dance — that’s the lasting charm of The Wizard of Oz.
This season, Candlelight is rolling out the emerald carpet to invite you to a 60-minute concert celebrating your favorite songs from The Wizard of Oz. A sting ensemble will perform classics like “Ding-Dong! Emerald City” under the glow of thousands of flickering candles — almost as magical as Dorothy’s trip to the Land of Oz itself. The songs will sweep you off your feet and right into the land where scarecrows dance and lions talk, so, whether you wish for a brain, a heart, or a little courage, come along on this musical adventure and experience the magical melodies like never before!
Music, magic, and a little bit of mischief await at Candlelight: The Wizard of Oz – A Classical Concert. Candlelight and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences invite you to experience its magic like never before — with classical arrangements that bring the story to life.
