Marina Bay Sands – Wonder Full

Singapore

The Las Vegas Sands Corporation (LVSC) embarked on a world audit to identify and engage an organisation capable of designing, developing and deploying a state-of-the-art, outdoor, permanent multimedia attraction on the doorstep of Asia’s premier Integrated Resort – Marina Bay Sands.

Following a 12-month audit, LVSC engaged Laservision to produce a show unique in scale and dramatic concept.

The light and water show would captivate audiences using music, theatrical lighting, water effects, pyrotechnics, fountains and choreographed special effects synchronised into a spectacular nightly performance.

As a result, the world-class ‘Wonder Full’ production came to fruition, driven by the same approach underwriting all of Laservision’s global, night-time spectaculars.

‘Wonder Full’ is a story of water and light creating life, told with water and light. Correspondingly, the spectacular explores humanity and the beauty of the human experience. This is accomplished via original footage of the Singaporean community, an original sound score and an abundance of technologies spanning the 15.4 hectare (38-acre) site.

The show takes you on an emotional and heartfelt journey through the use of water, fire, light, laser and other high-impact entertainment technologies. In addition, the Marina Bay Sands attraction features custom video projection and music produced in Singapore with community-focused content.

ORIGINAL SCORE

The Maria Bay Sands attraction ‘Wonder Full’ celebrates local talent showcasing the best of Singaporean musicians across two generations. Correspondingly, Laservision engaged Iskandar Ismail, an internationally renowned musician, composer, producer, arranger and conductor to create an original soundscore. Among a range of feats, Iksander composed for the Youth Olympic Games Opening & Closing Ceremonies, 2010.

Additionally, Laservision selected Daryl Ang as the maestro and conductor for this prestigious project. A selection of his accomplishments includes the winner of the ‘50th Besançon International Young Conductor’s Competition’, 2007 and the ‘Arturo Toscanini Competition’, 2008.

The 140-strong Bratislava Symphony Orchestra recorded the original soundtrack in Bratislava. The Orchestra featured many vocalists, consisting of 10 sopranos, 10 altos, eight tenors and eight basses. Also featured in the soundtrack is child violin prodigy, Gabriel Ng.

Included in the original soundtrack is a rendition of ‘What a Wonderful World’, a song by Louis Armstrong. Accordingly, the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra and two famous Singaporean singers, Joakim Gomez and Amni Musfirah, performed the song. 

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

A large component of the installation sits on top of Singapore’s natural water reservoir with all projection and laser equipment housed out in Marina Bay. Consequently, Laservision complied by ensuring we surpassed the minimum required standards and by developing new, green technologies. More information on the green technologies we deployed can be viewed in the technical section below.

TECHNICAL

SUPPORT

To maintain the integrity and quality of ‘Wonder Full’, Laservision provided a comprehensive operation and preventative maintenance program. Additionally, Laservision’s Singapore branch office provides a dedicated support team of technicians who are devoted to ensuring the experience continues in its full glory.

Since its inception in February 2011, ‘Wonder Full’ has attracted an estimated 4.2 million visitors from around the globe. Unsurprisingly, the show is popular with both locals and visitors. Over 30,000 spectators visit the Marina Bay Sands attraction per week, driving a huge footfall to the area. As a result, the show has received international acclamation, including ‘Best New South East Asian Tourist Attraction’ by ASEANTA. In addition, the show won the PATA Gold Award for ‘Contribution to Culture’ (Pacific Asia Travel Association). Furthermore, ILDA (International Laser Display Association) awarded the Marina Bay Sands attraction ‘Wonder Full’ the ‘Best International Multimedia Show’.
