Locale Firenzi Guest Shift With Fabio Fanni at Caffe Fernet for One Night Only
2022-06-22 17:00 - 20:00 | Caffe Fernet, 70 Collyer Quay, #01-05 Customs House, 049323, Singapore
Caffe Fernet will be hosting its first guest shifts since 2018 this June showcasing drinks perfect for day drinking because “it’s always 5pm in Italy!”. Chill with your friends in an al-fresco venue with a view.

Ranked No. 51 on the extended list of the World’s 50 Best Bars 2021, Locale Firenze is where modern mixology and culinary arts meet Florence’s heritage and culture. Housed in a historic building with an original 15th-century affresco dedicated to the Medici family, one of its many lavish rooms is a fully equipped bar lab. Their full-time experimentation with fermentation, distillation, maceration and other modern bar techniques result in ingredients like artichoke hydrolat, red onion shrub, and salicornia cordial.

Taste these ingredients in Fabio’s cocktails on Wednesday, 22nd June, in numbers like the fizzy Elisir Caterina with Sailor Jerry Spiced rum, Campari, sweet vermouth, and artichoke hydrolat. Gimlet fans can look forward to a twist in the classic with Hendrick’s Neptunia Gin and lemongrass and salicornia cordial whilst the highball-style Serendipity features Monkey Shoulder Whisky, red onion shrub, and viking salt.

Head over to Caffe Fernet for the 1930 Guest Shift with Francesco Bonazzi
2022-06-23 17:00 - 20:00 | Caffe Fernet, 70 Collyer Quay, #01-05 Customs House, 049323, Singapore
Caffe Fernet will be hosting its first guest shifts since 2018 this June showcasing drinks perfect for day drinking because “it’s always 5pm in Italy!”. Chill with your friends in an al-fresco venue with a view.

A speakeasy in the truest sense, Milan institution 1930 is the most exclusive and mysterious bar in the city. Entry is gained by building relationships with the staff of its Farmily Group company, which also owns cocktail bar Backdoor 43 and the more casual MAG Cafes. The classy, elegant venue boasts an excellent range of whiskies and a drinks list that is updated twice a year. Currently No. 20 on the World’s 50 Best Bars 2021, expect sophisticated and creative cocktails that are more 2030 than 1930!

Francesco brings intriguing tipples like the Negroni Water, where Hendrick’s Gin is stirred down with distilled Negroni for an inception-like twist on the classic cocktail. Garibaldi in Asia, like its name goes, is a tropical spin with Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum, mango, and Mulassano bitters while Rossini in Rouge pairs Glenfiddich 12 Year Old Whisky with red berries, tamarind and strawberry wine, and balsamic vinegar.

Do not miss the monologue of Kwa Geok Choo - The Story of Mrs Lee Kuan Yew by Ovidia Yu
2022-07-08 15:00 - 2022-07-31 22:00 | Victoria Theatre, 11 Empress Place, 179555, Singapore
Toy Factory Productions presents Kwa Geok Choo, a tribute to the remarkable woman and wife of Lee Kuan Yew and mother of Lee Hsien Loong. Her actions and influence were responsible for directing the waves, currents and tides that shape lives in Singapore.

Kwa Geok Choo is written by Ovidia Yu and directed by Toy Factory Productions’ Chief Artistic Director Goh Boon Teck. This moving theatrical piece will engage the audience in a memorable and meaningful performance.

“The decision to craft this play as a one-woman monologue was a concerted one. Madam Kwa Geok Choo was always one to stay away from the limelight while playing a significant role in the background to shape our nation. Her voice should be heard in the most personal and tranquil way, to guide us into the ‘delicate’ side of our history,” shares Boon Teck.

Ovidia is a Singaporean writer who has published award-winning plays and short stories. She has won many awards and has had over 30 of her plays produced. She adds that “we know of her reputation as a brilliant student and lawyer; and that two of our Prime Ministers would not have been the men they were if not for her. She did more to shape our nation than any other individual who has never held public office. It is very important that we try to see and remember her as a person, and not just historical data.”

Tan Rui Shan plays the role of Kwa Geok Choo. The 30-year-old shares that it is her goal to tell Kwa Geok Choo’s story as a woman, wife and mother, as truthfully as she cans.

This monologue follows Kwa Geok Choo from girlhood and early romance to life as a political wife and mother; top conveyancing lawyer and the main breadwinner of the Lee Family. It explores how it might have felt to be, as Lee Kuan Yew himself said, smarter than he but forever limited by gender to a secondary role. This is our tribute to the remarkable woman whose actions and influence are responsible for directing the waves, currents and tides that shape our lives in Singapore. It is a family love letter to all Singaporeans, in the hope that memories of Kwa Geok Choo, alongside those of our mothers, grandmothers and others who’ve passed on, will forever form the wellspring of our identity.

Catch the 1 1/2 hour performance at 8 pm from Tuesday to Saturday, and 3 pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. There is no interval.

Due to popular demand more dates have been released. The show dates are now 8 to 31 July 2022 and has been extended from 24 July 2022 previously.

Tickets are priced at S$58, S$78 and S$98 excluding the booking fee. Passion Card members, Senior Citizens, students and NSFs enjoy a 10% discount off Cate 1 & 2 tickets. Senior citizens and students also enjoy 20% of Category 1 and 2 tickets for Friday 3 pm shows.

Gentle Bones Charity Concert on 22 July 2022
2022-07-22 19:00 - 21:30 | Sands Theatre, 10 Bayfront Ave, 018973, Singapore
Local singer-songwriter Gentle Bones will be performing for a night for a good cause on 22 July 2022 at Sands Theatre, Marina Bay Sands. This concert is a collaboration with RHT Rajan Menon Foundation Ltd, the corporate social responsibility vehicle of RHTLaw Asia LLP and the RHT Group of Companies (collectively, ONERHT).

This charity concert will support the FUN! Fund for Seniors (an Agency for Integrated Care initiative), PCF Sparkle Care Centres, Lions Befrienders Service Association (Singapore), Dementia Singapore Ltd, Life Community Services Society, TOUCH Community Services Limited, CaringSG Limited and It All Starts Hear.sg.

“It’s a great occasion to be able to hold a concert after more than two years of pandemic restrictions, and to be invited by RHT Rajan Menon Foundation to do so for a great cause makes it all the more meaningful. I hope this event is able to support the beneficiaries and also help promote cross-industry contributions. Over the past year and a half, l have been focused on making music that empowers the listeners to come to terms with the understanding that they are much more to what meets the eye of anyone outside of themselves. I am extremely heartened to be able to translate this in a live concert setting that will contribute to many, not just of the music industry alone. I consider this to be an absolute honour and privilege.” Gentle Bones
