Hong Kong Disneyland will be having its Christmas celebration from November 19, 2021, to January 2, 2022, this year. During this time, the park will be filled with “magical white snow.” On December 3rd and 4th, Hong Kong Disneyland will also be filled with live symphonic music!
On December 3rd and 4th, Hong Kong Disneyland will be presenting A Magical Nighttime Symphony with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra for the very first time. The Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra (HK Phil) will perform in front of the Castle of Magical Dreams. It will be joined by Mickey and friends as they perform Disney and Christmas music.
Official Description of A Magical Nighttime Symphony
As the sun sets and dusk arrives, the Castle of Magical Dreams will shine with dazzling lights together with festive Christmas adornments at the park. Conductor Chiu Tsang Hei will take the stage with musicians from the HK Phil. A flick of the baton, and the HK Phil will soar to life for the 45-minute symphony in true festive spirit.
Expect Sorcerer Mickey in his special costume, followed by two Disney royals, Queen Anna and Queen Elsa joining the stage. Mickey’s best friends, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Goofy, will also appear in their brand-new holiday costumes to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
Popular Disney songs will include “A Whole New World,” and “Frozen Heart,” alongside Christmas classics like “Joy to the World” and “Jingle Bells,” for a magical Christmas live musical performance featuring the guest pianist Ceejay Javier, music director, entertainment & costuming, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. As the enchanting music rings through the night sky, the castle’s magnificent water fountains will dance in step to the music. All the while, snowflakes will gently cascade to the ground, perfecting the festive spirit of the season in a night of beautiful harmony.
“We are very excited working with the HK Phil, the flagship orchestra of our city, it brings all the magical elements together here in Hong Kong Disneyland: the spectacular night view of the Castle; high-quality orchestral live performances, and beloved Disney songs and stories. It’s our pleasure to bring the magic back to the community with a very special white Disney Christmas experience.” Michael Moriarty, managing director, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort said.
Mr Benedikt Fohr, Chief Executive of the HK Phil added: “Music connects people, and the HK Phil is thrilled to bring live music outside of the concert hall and to create these magical performances with the Hong Kong Disneyland for the Hong Kong community.”
