The global hit Mamma Mia! musical is coming back to Hong Kong after five years away. Based on songs by Swedish group Abba, the musical follows Sophie’s efforts to find her birth father before she gets married. She invites three of her mother’s ex boyfriends to her wedding, kicking off drama, surprises, and a whole night’s worth of unforgettable songs. We challenge you not to sing along to Honey, Honey, Dancing Queen, When All Is Said And Done, Take a Chance On Me, and more – be ready to have the songs stuck in your head for days afterwards. This run includes a total of 24 shows from the end of July to mid-August. Tickets are priced from $680 to $1,280, and Bank of China cardholders can access a range of priority booking dates in March, while public sales will begin from March 26.

Hong Kong audiences will be able to enjoy the 2023/24 season of The Metropolitan Opera of New York (The Met) from the comfort of our city’s own cinemas. This season opens with the Met premiere of Dead Man Walking by Jake Heggie, and will also include two other contemporary premieres, X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X by Anthony Davis based on the life of the American civil rights leader, and Florencia en el Amazonas by Mexican composer Daniel Catán.

Don’t miss brand-new productions of repertoire classics like Bizet’s Carmen, whose story has been reset in modern-day America, and Verdi’s La Forza del Destino in its first rare appearance at the Met. We’re also looking forward to revivals like Gounod’s Roméo et Juliette and Puccini’s Madama Butterfly starring soprano Asmik Grigorian in her Met debut as the lead Cio-Cio San.

The Foundation for the Arts and Music in Asia (FAMA) is bringing these works to a Hong Kong audience with The Met: Live in HD 2023-24, to be shown across the city at Emperor Cinemas in Central, K11 Art House, Movie Movie in Pacific Place, and Premiere Elements. Each production will be screened at approximately monthly intervals until the end of the year, and the viewing schedule is available on The Met in Hong Kong’s website. Tickets are priced at $290.
