Overview

Description

Did you know that Cantonese opera performers always greet each other with “Good morning” no matter what time of day they meet? Or that in traditional tea houses balcony seats cost more than those closer to the stage? To find out why, join our Xiqu Centre Guided Tour and learn about our venue and the rich history of the art of Chinese opera. The 60-minute tours, conducted in Cantonese, English or Mandarin, help you explore the Xiqu Centre facilities, learn about the architectural and design features, and discover fascinating facts about the culture and stories behind the traditional art form. Tours are supplemented with multimedia elements and are perfect for newcomers. Group tours are arranged weekly for schools and registered charitable or non-profit organisations upon request.

Please note, the backstage area is an active working zone and not part of the guided tour.

The event schedule may be subject to change. The presenter reserves the right to change the programme.

On-ear headphones are provided for the tour and sanitised before each session. Participants are welcome to bring your own headphones (3.5mm plug) if preferred.
