Time Out says

A premier performing arts venue dedicated to promoting and celebrating the art form and rich heritage of xiqu, or Chinese opera. Located in West Kowloon Cultural District, the opera house is made up of a grand theatre, a more intimate theatre, eight professional studios, a seminar hall and an atrium to host smaller events. The building design itself is a marvel on its own, inspired by traditional Chinese lanterns where the main entrance is shaped to resemble parted stage curtains.

Martial arts dance drama Storm Clouds

This multi award-winning martial arts dance drama is returning to Hong Kong after almost a decade since it was last performed. Picking out the most thrilling parts of the hugely popular Hong Kong comic book The Storm Riders, this performance is not only dramatic storytelling, but also a visual spectacle involving digital imagery and a gleaming pool of water onstage. Watch the tale of two brothers torn apart by destiny amidst flashing swords and splashing water. Tickets run from $220 to $1,000.
