In 2024, the Xiqu Centre marks its fifth anniversary with a festive three-month programme of classics and original work by renowned local and regional troupes.

Since its opening in 2019 the Xiqu Centre has produced and staged a wide variety of popular and award-winning productions, promoting Chinese traditional theatre to a wider audience and nurturing a new generation of xiqu artists. 

Between January and March 2024, join us with your family to celebrate five successful years and admire the artistic skills of some of the region’s best xiqu performers and creators. 

In the Grand Theatre, the programme features Birthday Celebration by Five Daughters (Peking Opera) , a joyous production by the famed China National Peking Opera Company, along with familiar and brand-new works by local troupes Sing Fai Cantonese Opera Promotion Association, Canto Op and Ming Chee Sing Chinese Opera.

In the Tea House Theatre, four emerging local playwrights offer new perspectives on a heritage art form with an exciting showcase of experimental, black box-style Cantonese opera works.
