A purpose-built venue for Cantonese opera as well as other forms of Chinese traditional theatre (known as xiqu in Mandarin), Xiqu Centre in West Kowloon Cultural District is the ideal place to visit for an introduction to the genre. Immerse yourself in world-class performances at the Grand Theatre, or sit back and enjoy tea and dim sum at the cosy Tea House Theatre as you take in 90-minute excerpts of all-time favourites performed by the resident troupe. Featuring expert narration, the intimate venue is designed to recreate the down-to-earth experience enjoyed by locals in the 20th century.
Should you be inspired to deepen your knowledge, be sure to check out the latest screenings, workshops, talks and exhibitions at the centre.
