Songs Of The Sea

The power of technology placed in the cradle of creativity, midst the elements of nature produces a memorable visual spectacle christened as "Songs Of The Sea". A sparkling gem in the crown of the flourishing tourism of Singapore, this is the world's first permanent show set located in the sea. This center piece which resembles a kelong (traditional Malay fishing village) has withstood the fury of the storms and the lashing of the waves. Water jets in poignant colours, brilliant lasers, vibrant lighting, creative graphics and classy fireworks woven together beneath the star-lit sky creates a magical evening at the Sentosa islands.


Sentosa is a popular island resort and a major tourist attraction in Singapore. In 2007, the musical fountain at Sentosa gave way to this unique show created by the renowned artist Yves Pepin, who was also the artistic adviser of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.



The tranquil sea comes alive with the dancing fountains in dazzling colours at Sentosa. This new nightly extravaganza at the Siloso Beach is yet another step towards promoting tourism in Singapore. Hats off to the creator of this innovative and captivating show.



An aesthetic setting, a live band in performance, spectacular pyrotechnics, an unique concept... These are just a few of the many ingredients which blend together to perfection to depict the tale of a young man Li, and his encounter with a beautiful princess who is under a spell.



It's no surprise that this immensely popular show is the recipient of several awards including the ASEANTA award for the being the "Best ASEAN New Tourist Attraction" in 2008. In my opinion, Songs Of The Sea tops the list of attractions on offer for a first time visitor to Singapore.



In conclusion, I would say that these pictures do not do justice to the magnificence of the show. Although a picture is worth a thousand words I believe that even a thousand pictures will not be able to re-create the enigma of a show that left me bedazzled!
