The Curve Welcomes Chinese New Year with Imperial Grandeur

 

Opulence and abundance herald the dawn of the Year of the Golden Rooster, as the Curve ushers in the festive season in a truly magnificent fashion! Hosting The Empress’s Celebration: Return of the Empress, Malaysia’s first pedestrianised lifestyle mall is set to celebrate an auspicious start to the new lunar year with its loyal shoppers and patrons.

From January 7 to 30, 2017, visitors to the mall will take a step back into the imperial days of old as the Curve transforms its Centre Court into an elaborate and spacious throne room, with a luxurious red carpet paving the way through the ceremonial hall. Reminiscent of the grand palaces Ancient China, two mighty guardian statues stand watch at the entrance as silent and noble protectors. Intricately-carved pillars over 14 feet high feature dragons and other oriental motifs, while lavish silken drapes add to the majestic atmosphere. Overlooking the area is the masterpiece of the mall’s décor, an ornamental two-tiered throne set on a raised dais. The setting truly offers an authentic ambience like no other that is sure to leave shoppers captivated.

Set within this spacious court setting, The Empress’s Court Dance Musical welcomes the arrival of the Spring Festival with a live musical performance.
