Bangsawan Bispuraja

Revel in the classic tale of Bangsawan Bispuraja originally written by the late Haji Hamid Bin Ahmad, hailed as Singapore’s father of Bangsawan, presented in the traditional format. The performance showcases the trademark lenggok Bangsawan Singapura, meaning vocal expression, unique to the local bangsawan style, among the other bangsawan practices in the Nusantara region. It is performed by three generations of local bangsawan performers—the veterans, the youths and the children of Anggerik Temasek Bangsawan—reinstating bangsawan as the regal, classic Malay operatic theatrical experience for all walks of life. Catch the Extra Turn segment that features a modern-day star of the show also known as seri panggung, Tanty Yushida, with her upbeat medley rendition of familiar classical tunes.
