Renowned for its poetic storytelling, sumptuous visuals, and dreamlike atmosphere, In The Mood For Love follows the tender and bittersweet connection between a man, played by Tony Leung, and a woman, portrayed by Maggie Cheung, who discover their respective spouses are having an affair. As they navigate loneliness and restraint, an intimate bond slowly forms, capturing romance in its quiet intensity.
The concert will feature the BASE Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Singapore’s internationally acclaimed conductor Joshua Tan. A graduate of The Juilliard School and the Eastman School of Music, and recipient of Singapore’s Young Artist Award, Tan is celebrated for his versatility across symphonic, operatic, ballet, film, and multimedia repertoire. He has conducted orchestras including the Mariinsky Theatre Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.
Chief Executive Officer of Base Entertainment Asia, Chantal Prudhomme, shared that the production reveals new emotional depth through the power of live music, celebrating the award-winning performances of Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung while offering audiences a fresh way to experience Wong Kar Wai’s masterpiece.
Described by Wong Kar Wai as “a poem itself,” the film’s score will be rendered live with sensitivity and precision, weaving together fashion, music, colour, light, and form into an immersive experience.
Blending cinema and symphony in one sweeping showcase, In The Mood For Love In Concert promises to rekindle the film’s aching romance in a way that feels both nostalgic and entirely new. For longtime admirers and first-time viewers alike, this reimagined presentation offers a rare chance to lose yourself in Wong Kar Wai’s poetic world, where every glance, every note, and every silence lingers just a little longer.
