Efteling Symphonica: A Spectacular New Water Show Focused on Sustainability

With the premiere of “Efteling Symphonica,” the Dutch theme park Efteling introduces a completely revamped version of its popular Aquanura water show. The performance begins with an enchanting scene: Little Red Riding Hood opens a special storybook that brings the show to life. This creative introduction merges Efteling’s fairytale charm with cutting-edge show technology, creating an impressive blend of tradition and innovation.

Sustainability as a Guiding Principle

One of the most notable changes is the elimination of fire effects, which were a central element in previous versions of the show. The use of propane has been entirely removed, marking a significant step toward the park's climate goals. “Our aim is to be climate neutral by 2030,” explains to Koen Sanders, Director of Product, Market, and Image. Instead, “Efteling Symphonica” employs state-of-the-art lighting installations, including the newly introduced “Bakens van Licht.” These energy-efficient light effects create a stunning visual spectacle that perfectly complements the other elements of the show.

An Entirely New Musical Arrangement

The musical score for “Efteling Symphonica” has also been completely redesigned. A unique, never-before-heard composition serves as the show's core, taking the audience on an emotional journey through time. The music is seamlessly synchronized with the visual effects, resulting in an immersive atmosphere that transports viewers into a captivating world of sound, light, and water.

A Remarkable Premiere

The premiere of the new water show took place a few days ago in front of a diverse audience of visitors, partners, and media representatives. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with spectators praising the successful combination of technical innovation, musical creativity, and Efteling's signature fairytale magic. Sanders emphasized the importance of this special occasion: “It is truly extraordinary to experience this premiere together with our guests, as their reactions are of the utmost importance to us.”

Innovations for the Future

“Efteling Symphonica” is not just a showcase of artistic excellence but also a testament to the park's forward-thinking approach. The show highlights how sustainability, technological innovation, and high-level entertainment can come together seamlessly. For both day and overnight guests, the show offers a spectacular conclusion to a visit to Efteling, setting new benchmarks for attractions of this kind.

A Milestone for Efteling

The introduction of “Efteling Symphonica” reaffirms the theme park's commitment to staying innovative and sustainable. The decision to eliminate environmentally harmful effects, combined with the integration of advanced lighting technologies and an original musical composition, demonstrates Efteling’s dedication to quality and environmental consciousness. This new water show represents another significant milestone in the park's development and is sure to become a standout attraction for visitors from around the globe.
