A once-in-a-lifetime performance in Thailand, Plácido Domingo

One of this year’s monumental highlights, Plácido Domingo, the legendary opera icon and one of The Three Tenors, will perform in Thailand for the first and only time. With over 150 operatic roles in 4000 performances and 12 Grammy awards, Domingo has redefined opera for global audiences and remains one of the most influential figures in classical music history. This historic night becomes even more extraordinary as he shares the stage with two stars in classical music: Monica Conesa, the radiant American soprano captivating international stages, along with Beatrice Venezi, the groundbreaking Italian conductor hailed as one of the most powerful women in classical music. Together, they will create an unforgettable operatic masterpiece; this is more than a concert; it is a piece of musical history.

India’s epic Mahabharata comes to life in a dazzling contemporary spectacle

For the first time in Thailand, audiences will witness the grandeur of the Mahabharata, India’s greatest epic reimagined for the global stage. “Mahabharata: 18 Days, Dusk of an Era” is a live, large-scale performance by Prabhat Arts International, founded in 1946, a renowned artistic institution known for breathing new life into ancient literature through modern artistic forms.

This visually stunning production brings to life the 18-day war between the Pandavas and Kauravas, the cosmic clash of dharma (righteousness) versus adharma (unrighteousness) with a cast of over fifty performers. The show is a gripping infusion of Indian dance, drama and live dialogue with elaborate costumes brought out through levitation, aerial stunts, martial arts and immersive visual effects.

Chinese classic reimagined: A Dream of Red Mansions by the National Ballet of China

Also taking center stage is the breathtaking ballet interpretation of A Dream of Red Mansions, one of the Four Great Classical Novels of China, originally penned by Cao Xueqin in the 18th century. Often called “a mirror of Qing Dynasty society,” the story remains one of the most poignant literary works in Chinese history.

This year, the acclaimed National Ballet of China reinterprets the tale through the elegance of Western ballet, capturing themes of love, longing, and the inevitable decline of a noble family. More than eighty dancers will bring the tragic love triangle to life with expressive choreography and powerful stage presence.

The production arrives in Bangkok with six full containers of set pieces, lighting, and lavish costumes from Beijing, an awe-inspiring fusion of Chinese storytelling and Western ballet tradition, delivered with grace and grandeur on a single stage.

Russia’s Samara Opera & Ballet Theatre kicks off the festival with 4 grand productions

Get ready for an unforgettable second half of The Festival as Russia’s prestigious Samara Opera & Ballet Theatre takes the stage in Bangkok with 4 spectacular productions. Renowned for its breathtaking performances and grand-scale productions, the company brings a diverse lineup of

opera and ballet masterpieces to Thai audiences. Leading the charge are two legendary operas: Tosca and Aida, timeless tales of love, loss, and power brought to life with stunning sets, soaring vocals, and a cast of over 250 performers.

The magic continues with a brand-new production of The Nutcracker made just for their visit to Thailand, Tchaikovsky’s beloved Christmas ballet. Rounding off their lineup is the emotionally charged contemporary ballet Three Masks of the King, a dramatic reflection on power, identity, and the courage to embrace one’s true self, showcasing the precision and grandeur of Russian ballet at its finest and the only theatre in the world who performs this ballet.

Heart-stopping acrobatics and futuristic dance collide

The excitement doesn’t stop there. This year’s festival brings high-octane energy and universal appeal with China National Acrobatic Troupe, performing in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Thai–Chinese diplomatic relations. With over 50 acrobats and more than 74 international gold medals, prepare to be amazed by gravity-defying stunts and jaw-dropping feats of athleticism.
Then, step into the future with Pixel, a groundbreaking French production that merges street, hip-hop, roller blading and contemporary dance with state-of-the-art visual technology. Featuring 3D graphics, projection mapping, and interactive special effects, this performance is a visual spectacle that will leave you breathless.

Global highlights: from Cuban rhythms to Spanish fire

The festival also features an eclectic lineup of international performances, namely, Cuba Vibra!, a vibrant journey through Cuban dance from past to present, Nocturna, a contemporary flamenco performance from Spain, pulsing with passion NINA, a Gatsby-style dance drama paying tribute to female strength and the pursuit of dreams Energy ∞ Infinite, a percussion show that redefines rhythm and movement, and The Prague Philharmonia, one of Europe’s top orchestras
and a Grammy recipient, will deliver classical brilliance and also features 29 year old American pianist George Li from the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

Acquisition strengthens Chemin’s capabilities in complex AI data services amid global demand surge

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 June 2025 – TDCX Group, a leading provider of digital customer experience (CX) and growth services for global enterprises, today announced the acquisition of SUPA, a cutting-edge data labeling and annotation platform known for its agile, gig-powered delivery model. SUPA will be integrated into Chemin, TDCX Group’s recently launched AI enablement subsidiary, to address the rising complexity of AI development and meet surging global demand for elite-level data services.

As artificial intelligence systems evolve rapidly — from large language models (LLMs) to autonomous agents — the nature of data-related work has grown more specialized and cognitively demanding. What was once simple tagging has shifted toward intricate data interpretation, nuanced prompt engineering, synthetic data validation, and multi-modal reasoning tasks increasingly performed by individuals with advanced academic training, including PhDs, engineers, linguists, and ethicists.

Mr. Laurent Junique, Chief Executive Officer and Founder, TDCX Group, said, “The future of customer experience is AI-powered, and AI itself runs on increasingly complex, curated data. SUPA brings us the right capabilities and talent frameworks to fuel that future. By embedding SUPA into Chemin, we’re doubling down on our ability to support enterprise and frontier AI labs with world-class data operations.”

Mr. Mark Koh, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of SUPA, said, “The future of AI is all about the quality of its decisions. At SUPA, we’ve built a platform that refines raw data into the fuel for smarter, more reliable AI systems. It’s about injecting judgment and deep domain expertise at critical points in the data lifecycle. TDCX Group gives us the global platform to scale our model of precision and agility while keeping quality uncompromised.”

Ms. Lianne Dehaye, Senior Vice President, and newly appointed Head of Chemin, said, “SUPA immediately enhances our ability to deliver complex data pipelines, whether it’s fine-tuning models with domain-specific annotations or deploying PhD-level reviewers for critical edge-case scenarios. We enable intelligent task orchestration that scales reliably, maximizes throughput, and ensures high-quality outputs at every stage of the pipeline.”

Chemin, launched earlier this year, serves as a next-generation platform for AI enablement, offering services such as data collection, annotation, model evaluation, red-teaming, and prompt optimization. With SUPA’s tech stack and elite talent network now integrated, Chemin is positioned to serve clients developing foundational models, enterprise AI copilots, and safety-critical systems.

This strategic move places TDCX Group at the center of the AI enablement, a sector forecasted to become a multi-billion-dollar global market. As AI adoption accelerates among Fortune 500 companies, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), to digitally native direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands, Chemin, now fortified with SUPA’s deep expertise, aims to be a critical enabler of safe, scalable, and sophisticated AI.

TDCX Group will continue investing in an end-to-end AI services portfolio, anchored by robust CX infrastructure, gig-economy flexibility, and now, a deep bench of highly qualified human-in-the-loop talent.
