Over the past two decades, the Rice Ball has established itself as one of the highlights of Singapore’s social calendar: a fun, fabulous fundraising event made all the more magical by our theatre industry’s brightest stars. After a two-year hiatus, we are thrilled to finally be able to welcome you back to the Shangri-La Hotel! Come join us for a legendary party full of glitz and glamour – and all for a good cause!

The lives of a comfortable middle-class family are upended when an Inspector arrives, bearing news of the tragic death of a young woman. A riveting clash of murder and morality, class and conscience, this classic psychological thriller asks its characters – and today’s audiences – to take a good, hard look at the troubling disparities in the world brought about by power, privilege and poverty.

Wild Rice and Victorian Opera proudly present The Butterfly Lovers like you have never seen it before. Fresh from its critically acclaimed world premiere in Australia, this thrilling international collaboration marks the first time this classic Chinese folktale takes flight as an original English-language opera. Ivan Heng leads an international creative team including Australian composer Richard Mills and Singaporean playwright Joel Tan.

Every ten years, we check into an iconic hotel in Singapore to meet its residents. Spanning a century and performed over close to five hours in nine languages, HOTEL explores the notions of empire, nationhood, migration and identity against the backdrop of a shrinking world. This immersive, multi-generational epic has been hailed as an “instant classic” by The Straits Times.
