There will also be a preview of The Sound Of Music musical and movie screenings by The ArtScience Museum.
Marina Bay Sands’ The Holiday Light Up on Friday (Nov 18) will see the place transformed into a Christmas wonderland with illuminations and special events.
Starting at 7.30pm at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, the light-up features a Christmas floating forest illuminated in bright shimmering lights, and an ensemble of around 1,000 Christmas trees dressed in fairy curtain lights along with three giant snow globes.
Visitors can also catch a sneak preview of the musical The Sound Of Music on the same night performed by 18 local cast members chosen to play the von Trapp family children. They join Jill-Christine Wiley, the actress who plays Maria Rainer in the upcoming musical at Sands Theatre from Nov 22.
From Nov 18 to Dec 25, the three towers of Marina Bay Sands and the ArtScience Museum will be lit up with animations and laser projections every night in the season’s colours.
