Red lanterns glow above the room as Madame Rouge readies her entrance. For Chinese New Year, she threads her heritage through high-drama cabaret, saluting the golden age of Cantopop with knowing glamour. Think lacquered waves, sequins catching the light and melodies that once drifted across Victoria Harbour now landing on the Goldsmiths stage. It feels affectionate rather than nostalgic, a love letter with a wink. From 7pm, Justin Mills sets the tone with selections that ease the crowd forward, before Madame Rouge takes over at 9pm. The evening balances reverence and theatrical flair, offering a celebration that honours tradition while happily bending it.
