Lea Salonga returned to where magic once began, joining the celebration of Hong Kong Disneyland’s 20th anniversary in a night filled with music, memories, and wonder.
Standing before the Castle of Magical Dreams, the theater icon delivered a breathtaking performance at “Disney Legend Live in Concert Presents Lea Salonga.”
One by one, beloved Disney classics came to life.
“Once Upon a Dream.”
“When Will My Life Begin?”
“A Whole New World.”
“Let It Go.”
And the song that defined a generation—“Reflection.”
Each note carried nostalgia.
Each lyric, emotion.
Lea was joined by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and the Hong Kong Disneyland Band, creating a rich, cinematic sound that wrapped the audience in pure Disney magic.
On Facebook, Hong Kong Disneyland shared just how special the moment was.
“The unforgettable voice that performed at Hong Kong Disneyland’s grand opening two decades ago returned to the park,” the post read. “The award-winning Disney Legend filled the 20th Anniversary celebration with her enchanting singing.”
For many fans, Lea’s voice is Disney itself.
She is forever known as the singing voice of Jasmine in Aladdin and *Mulan—roles that made her a global icon and a source of pride for Filipinos everywhere.
And the magic doesn’t stop there.
In 2025, Lea returned to the Philippine theater stage, taking on the role of The Witch in the local production of Into the Woods.
This January, she steps into another iconic role as Madame Thénardier in Les Misérables: The World Tour Spectacular.
Soon, her legacy will be etched in history.
Lea Salonga is set to become the first Filipino to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
From Disney dreams to global stages, her voice continues to inspire.
And after 20 years, the magic still sounds just as beautiful. ✨
