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.

What’s on

WestK Cabaret Nights

Jazz hands at the ready! WestK is continuing the success of its Cabaret Nights series with a number of exciting programmes this October. From soulful melodies to exhilarating performances, this season’s got music, standup comedy, theatre, and dance, evoking laughter, tears, and connection. Everything takes place at the Tea House Theatre at Xiqu Centre on two to three evenings per month, so there’s plenty of programmes to choose from. Kicking things off on October 21 is a quadruple threat event to welcome guests back into the mesmerising cabaret fold. ‘A Night of Stories by MsLolo, Terrence Leung, Kitty Wong, and Coco She’ gathers four distinctly different personalities onto the same stage, but the personal stories shared will only bring audiences closer together. From African drum beats and dance to Disney singalongs and Broadway belters, there’ll be plenty of moving and grooving. See the full programme on the WestK website and get your tickets through Cityline or Art-mate.
