Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall

Mischief? Check. Mayhem? Absolutely. Trickery and rhymes? An endless supply. This school holiday season, join Sally and her brother as they go on a wildly imaginative and zany adventure with everyone’s favourite furry troublemaker, The Cat in the Hat. During one rainy day, the children hear an unexpected loud bump at the door when the mischievous feline arrives and turns the children’s boring day upside down. Expect plenty of games, chaos and laugh-out-loud moments on stage. Featuring a cast and crew ensemble from the UK, The Cat in the Hat is a lively stage adaptation of the famous Dr. Seuss children’s book. The performance is part of KidsFest 2026, a regular festival that transforms children’s literary favourites into immersive theatrical productions. Past shows have included stagings of The Gruffalo’s Child, The 91-Storey Treehouse and The Koala Who Could.

For four days this July, the piano takes centre stage at the 32nd Singapore International Piano Festival – and this isn’t just one for the seasoned classical buffs. Held across the elegant Victoria Concert Hall and the intimate Play Den at The Arts House from July 2 to 5, the festival features everything from grand evening performances to fringe events designed to bring you closer to the music. Returning with a fresh new vision under artistic director Albert Tiu, this year’s edition spotlights a new generation of boundary-pushing pianists who are as much composers and improvisers as they are virtuoso performers. The line-up brings together internationally celebrated names like Conrad Tao, Hyung-ki Joo (of the acclaimed duo Igudesman and Joo), Sean Chen and Jon Kimura Parker, alongside rising local talents Churen Li and Jonathan Shin.  You’ll be treated to dazzling recitals, playful musical experimentations and plenty of moments that prove piano music can be thrilling, emotional and unexpectedly fun. Whether you’re a lifelong piano lover or simply curious to catch live music that stirs something in you, this festival promises a memorable experience. Recitals start from $28, while fringe events start from $20. Festival packages and concessions are also available. Get your tickets here.
