Top Things to Do in Hong Kong in October

Set of Turandot 2005 – Opera Hong Kong

Hong Kong always has an incredible mix of events every month, and what we love most about the great 852 is its continuous support and love for arts in all forms. There is a refreshing multicultural vibe of creativity around the city that makes it a must-visit destination. This October, there are a lot of performing arts and artists coming to town, but there are also some great drinking and dining events as well – check them all out below!

Puccini’s Turandot

(See featured image above)

This one should be high up on your diary this month! Turandot is being presented by Opera Hong Kong as the final production of their 15th anniversary. It will be an epic co-production between Opera Hong Kong and New York City Opera. Puccini’s classic opera features an all-star cast at the Grand Theatre at Hong Kong Cultural Centre.

Puccini’s Turandot first premiered in 1926 and is set in Imperial Peking. It opens with a notoriously bloody scene as the Prince of Persia befalls the same destiny as many previous suitors of the Princess Turandot, and is executed, having failed to answer correctly the Princess’s three riddles. Director Michael Capasso seeks to contextualize our expectations of the opera in this tale of love and adventure. The direction and set design by John Farrell will be opulent and luxuriant, unpacking what Puccini and his 19th-century peers considered Imperial China to represent. Puccini’s Turandot will be performed in Italian with Chinese and English subtitles.

When: October 10–14, 2018

Where: Grand Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, Hong Kong
