West Kowloon Cultural District’s first large-scale event outside Hong Kong is a carefully planned dialogue with a friendly peer city

The forward momentum of Hong Kong’s arts scene is evident, and it is about to move beyond the city’s boundaries. Since its establishment in 2008, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority has nurtured artistic talent and presented their strengths and creativity through a wide variety of programmes and exhibitions, many of which have won local and international acclaim.

In addition to musicals, the Shanghai audience will see a string of other performing arts genres showcasing Hong Kong’s top artistic talent, from traditional Chinese opera and jazz to contemporary dance.
