Synopsis

Come celebrate the legacy of getai through music, storytelling and multimedia presentations!

 

A literal translation of “song-stage” from Mandarin, getai is a unique facet of Chinese culture and heritage in Singapore that comprises live entertainment with open-air performances of song, music and dance, with performers typically utilising Chinese dialects such as Hokkien on stage. Over the last 50 years, getai has continued to develop through innovations in stage design and musical offerings, comparable to those of contemporary music concerts.

 

Hosted by household names Marcus Chin and Lee Pei Fen, Getai in Retrospect features ten getai artists across generations. Watch veterans such as Huang Qing Yuan, Lin Ru Ping and Li Jin Cai take the stage alongside established artists Yuan Jin, Josephine Lam and Jason Chung, as well as new generation artists 2Z Sisters and Anddi Goh.

 

A programme of PopLore, in celebration of Esplanade's 20th anniversary.
Discover and relive the epic, storied and exhilarating journeys of different generations through Singapore popular music and culture.
