Cultural Exchange

CapitaLand believes in promoting a healthy cultural exchange between Singapore and overseas communities in which it is active.

Promoting Cultural Exchange

• In 2009, CapitaLand was the main sponsor for “Journey to the West”, a highly-acclaimed acrobatic drama performed by the renowned Guangzhou Acrobatic Troupe of China, on its debut performance in Singapore. CapitaLand also sponsored a two-day performance by Singapore Symphony Orchestra at the prestigious National Centre for the Performing Arts in Beijing. Participation in these performances marked a significant milestone for CapitaLand, as it celebrated its 15th year in China, and reaffirmed its continued commitment to build a meaningful long term partnership with China.
• In 2008, CapitaLand was the major sponsor for Spotlight Singapore in Moscow. It was the presenter of “Generation/s”, a performance involving a Russian string ensemble. CapitaLand also sponsored “A Tale of Shaolin” at the Esplanade Theatre, Singapore. The performance by the renowned Zhengzhou Song and Dance Theatre from Henan, China, featured Shaolin monks from the famed Shaolin Martial Arts Academy.
• In 2007, CapitaLand sponsored the Singapore Season in Beijing and Shanghai, a Singapore government-led platform to showcase Singapore’s unique multi-cultural heritage and vibrant arts scene in key global cities. It is the Season Programme Sponsor for the Singapore Chinese Orchestra’s collaborative performances with Beijing’s Choir of China Song and Dance Theater and the Shanghai Opera House Chorus. The Ascott Group is the Season's Accommodation Sponsor.
• In 2006, CapitaLand sponsored the overseas debut of the highly acclaimed “Jinsha” (Immortality) musical from China in Singapore, which is named after a popular Chengdu heritage site.
• In 2005, CapitaLand brought in the Shanxi Jianzhou Drum Art Ensemble from China to perform at various CapitaLand malls.

With the foray into more overseas markets and the development of healthy bilateral relations, CapitaLand looks set to expand the scope of its Cultural Exchange activities in the near future.
