In October 2023, Pangkor Laut Resort, hidden away on a secluded island paradise, hosted an unforgettable debut of Opera in Paradise. This extraordinary event wove together the talents of world-renowned musicians, each a virtuoso who has graced the grandest stages across the globe.
Fast forward to this year’s eagerly anticipated second edition, happening from 18 to 20 October 2024. The music event unveils a fresh lineup of stellar performers. Returning as Musical Director is the renowned Andrea Griminelli, joined by acclaimed mezzo-soprano Laura Wright from the UK, award-winning soprano Cathy-Di Zhang and celebrated tenor John Longmuir from Australia. Against the backdrop of sunshine, sea, sand, and an ancient rainforest dating back two million years, cherished moments await.
As the sun sets, casting its golden hues over turquoise waters, world-class voices will fill the air with timeless arias and contemporary masterpieces. The melodies harmonise with the gentle lull of ocean waves, creating a sensory symphony that elevates the soul.
Nothing short of enchanting here. Guests can wander through lush rainforest trails teeming with exotic flora and fauna or relax on pristine shores, immersing themselves in a world where music and nature blends. This unique experience invites them to embrace the sublime, where every note sung under the starlit sky resonates with natural beauty of Pangkor Laut, making Opera in Paradise a celebration that transcends the ordinary.
