The Other Wise Man
#4 The Pearl
Presented by: Leisure and Cultural Services Department
Produced by: Bel Canto Singers

Synopsis: Based on the story by Henry Van Dyke, Bel Canto Singers’ original musical tells the tale of Artaban, the fourth Wise Man who fails to meet up with the other three Magi to look for the newborn Jesus. Instead, Artaban spends his whole life doing good deeds, but always misses meeting Jesus throughout his years of searching. Interactive video projections offer striking visual effects to complement the score, beautifully depicting the uplifting world of altruism.
#4 The Pearl
After 33 years, Artaban eventually arrives in Jerusalem where he hopes to meet the King and present him his final and most treasured gift, the pearl. However, moved with compassion, he finally sacrifices this last gift in exchange for the release of a slave girl.
