Exciting news from The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts!

Our 20-member delegation, led by the Dean of Chinese Opera Professor Martin Lau, proudly supported by HKETO Brussels, has arrived Italy.

After a warm welcome in Milan, they wowed the audience at the Conservatory of Music “G. Nicolini” in Piacenza with captivating Cantonese opera excerpts and stunning Chinese music solos! The response was incredible and attracted local media coverage:
