The grand finale of the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF) 2017 will take place tonight, 24 June.  Viewers will be treated to wonderful displays by the 3 best teams amongst DIFF's participating ones, and they are from the UK, Australia and Italy.  This is the most anticipated competition night because the 3 teams have vast experiences in fireworks display.

The 3 teams have already completed their good preparations for their performances at the launch location at the former Han River Port.  Under the rules of the grand finale, each team is required to produce a 15-minute fireworks show.

The display, themed ‘Live with All Your Heart’, by Team Howard and Son Pyrotechnics from Australia will feature a total of around 4,500 low, middle and high-level fireworks.

Mr Christian Howard, Head of the Australian team, remarked that tonight the audience would be treated to a special musical concert featuring exciting music.  The display will produce vivid pyrotechnic paints in the city’s sky, especially the beautiful images of a surprise mountain and trees.

Themed ‘Feelings’, a fireworks display by the Pyrotex Fireworx from the UK will show off a harmonious combination of different genres of music such as rock, pop, ballad, classical and contemporary music, thereby helping to stir up different emotions in the audience members.

The Head of the team, Mr Mark Kelsall, noted that his team’s performance will thrill the spectators with a clear and fascinating outline, and special rotating pyrotechnic techniques for firing low, middle and high-level fireworks.

The British competitors would like all the audience members at DIFF to join them on a wonderful journey of discovery as they feel like they are taking roller coaster rides filled with different emotions.

With around 100 years of experience, the Martarello SRL company from Italy is expected to produce a majestic and delicate fireworks display.  Most notably, following the success of their previous performance, their tonight show will continue featuring a story which demonstrates a special love for nature and the beauty of Da Nang.

The Head of the Italian team, Mr Ermes Martarello, said that music plays a vital role in helping his team to convey their meaningful messages to the spectators.  Hopefully, the display by the Italian contestants will amaze the viewers with support music perfectly choreographed to innovative imagery, fireworks, and special lighting effects.

In particular, the spectators will be treated to fascinating melodies of world-renowned songs spanning different musical genres.  Once again the pace builds creating layer upon layer of increasing strength leading to a triumphant climax.

The festival’s General Director Le Quy Duong said “One of the highlights of tonight’s final performance night, which has ‘wood’ as its theme, will be the interesting musical programme.  It will feature numerous Vietnamese and South Korean singers and artistes, including singers Dang Duong and My Linh and violinist Jmi Ko”.
