The phrase "March Madness" is no exaggeration for Hong Kong. Aside from welcoming Arts Month, where the city's creative scene comes alive with exciting art fairs and exhibitions, we also see the return of staple events on Hong Kong's social calendar such as the Hong Kong Flower Show and HKwalls. With all this, plus a ton of delicious and boozy happenings throughout the month, there’s no shortage of activities to fill up your diary this March. Enjoy!

Best events happening in Hong Kong

  • Music
  • Classical and opera
  • Admiralty

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.
