Lea Salonga, the award-winning Filipino Broadway star and Disney Legend, returned to Hong Kong Disneyland Resort to headline a one-night-only performance as part of the theme park’s 20th anniversary celebration.
In front of the Castle of Magical Dreams on January tenth, Salonga delivered a rich programme of Disney classics, revisiting the songs that have defined her storied career and underscored her enduring connection with Disney.
Salonga’s appearance, framed as “Disney Legend Live in Concert Presents Lea Salonga,” brought together live musicians from the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and the Hong Kong Disneyland Band, led by conductor Maestro Gerard Salonga, her brother.
Against a backdrop of illuminated castle projections and pyrotechnics, she performed iconic numbers including “A Whole New World,” “Reflection,” “Let It Go,” “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes,” and other cherished songs tied to Disney’s princess catalogue.
Six beloved Disney characters — Jasmine, Mulan, Tiana, Elsa, Cinderella and Pocahontas — joined the spectacle, enhancing the atmosphere of enchantment.
The performance marked a full-circle moment for Salonga, who first sang at Hong Kong Disneyland during its grand opening in 2005, two decades earlier.
Audiences responded with warmth and admiration, celebrating her return and the emotional resonance of her voice in one of the resort’s signature milestone events.
The concert was one of the centrepiece offerings in a season of 20th anniversary festivities that have included parades, themed shows and commemorative attractions across the park.

Her performance at Hong Kong Disneyland was widely hailed as a highlight of the anniversary season, drawing both long-time fans and new admirers to experience a unique blend of musical artistry and theme park celebration.
