Background
editSATU was her first colossal theatrical concert. The name of her concert is a Malay word that literally means "one", inspired by 'Satu Malaysia' or '1Malaysia' introduced by Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, a call for unity.[3] The idea for a concert came while she was practising her performance at Anugerah Bintang Popular Berita Harian 08. The concept of this concert was inspired from A New Day... by Celine Dion.[4] More than 30 songs have been performed in full and medley and in new arrangement.
Concert synopsis
editThe whole concert was meant to portray songs and Siti Nurhaliza's highs and lows after more than a decade of singing and to recap the singer's road to fame. Their concert also had some scenes highlighting her romance with her husband, Datuk Khalid Muhammad Jiwa.[2]
They were more 25 dancers and 20 musicians who were accompanying Siti Nurhaliza throughout the show.[2]
