Nathania Ong SSO 2026: 17 or 18 December?

7 November 2026

On My Own: Nathania Ong with the Singapore Symphony runs at Esplanade Concert Hall on 17 and 18 December 2026 at 7.30pm. Tickets are listed from S$28 before booking fees, and only the Friday performance has an announced post-concert autograph session.

Choose this for a mixed musical-theatre programme

Nathania Ong joins the SSO, conductor Joshua Tan and fellow vocalists Preston Lim and Vanessa Kee. The programme draws from Les Misérables, Wicked, Disney films and other stage works. This is a concert of selections, so you do not need to follow one complete musical’s storyline.

It is a useful choice when the group cannot agree on one show but shares a love of theatre songs. If you want a full film with live accompaniment instead, compare the Frozen in Concert guide. Buying this concert does not include that separate event.

Compare the ticket total, not just the headline price

Standard prices are S$28, S$48, S$68, S$88, S$118 and S$148. The official page specifies additional SISTIC booking fees. At the lowest standard tier, S$28 plus the stated S$3 fee comes to S$31; at S$48, the stated S$4 fee gives S$52. These calculations do not include any separately selected delivery or other optional charge.

Prices are reproduced as listed, without inventing an additional GST adjustment. Confirm the final checkout breakdown. The family offer gives 20% off four or more tickets in Categories 1–4, while selected concessions apply to Categories 5–6. Compare eligible baskets before assuming the family-labelled option is cheapest.

Should you choose Thursday or Friday?

Choose Thursday if the concert is all you want. Friday adds a possible autograph stop, but it requires a separate wristband process. SSO’s concert page lists 50 wristbands, issued from 6.45pm opposite the Level 1 Concert Hall Information Counter, for ticketholders who are present in person.

A wristband gives a place in the queue, not a guaranteed meeting. Do not buy the more inconvenient night solely on the assumption that an autograph is assured. If you try for it, keep the after-concert schedule open and recheck the arrangements closer to December.

Make the evening work for your group

The concert is listed at two hours including a 20-minute interval. SSO recommends ages five and above, requires a ticket for each person and excludes infants-in-arms and toddlers. For a younger listener, consider concentration over a full evening as well as enthusiasm for familiar songs.

Eat beforehand, keep the ticket readily available and be ready to sit down before the performance starts. There is little benefit in choosing a cheaper seat if the travel plan makes you miss the opening. Browse the Eventful guides for other year-end evenings before locking in a group booking.

Good to know

· Friday autograph plans need an earlier arrival than the concert alone.

· Compare four-person offers with any concessions your group can actually use.

· Check the official programme and autograph arrangements again in December.

FAQs

Is this a staged production of Les Misérables or Wicked?

No. It is an orchestral concert featuring selections from several musicals and films.

Is S$28 the final payable price?

No. The official listing adds booking fees. Its stated S$3 fee makes a standard S$28 ticket S$31 before any optional charges.

Does every Friday ticketholder get an autograph?

No. A limited wristband allocation is announced, and even a wristband does not guarantee meeting the artist.
