Western Opera has always been an extravagant and all-encompassing art form. With its unparalleled emotional intensity and vivid depiction of the human condition – made possible only by the close collaboration of composers, librettists, vocalists, conductors, directors, and more – opera is both diverse and universal at the same time.
Exotica is a celebration of opera’s diversity by taking us on a world tour of exotic locales (New York, Paris, Scotland, India, Japan, Africa, and more), as we explore the universal aspects of the human condition – romance, love, loss, betrayal, vengeance, devotion, death, comedy, hope and optimism – the essence of which is what we call “opera”.
Produced by Dongjian Gong, HKGO’s Co-founder and Senior Artist Planner, the concert features a programme of excerpts from La bohème, Madama Butterfly, Lucia di Lammermoor, Lakmé, Les pêcheurs de perles, L’italiana in Algeri, Candide and more, curated by award-winning American director Nic Muni. An array of vocalists including sopranos Yang Li and Kenix Tsang, as well as mezzo-soprano Samantha Chong, will perform under the direction of Yankov Wong, a noted theatre director from Hong Kong, with orchestral accompaniment conducted by renowned Italian conductor Elio Orciuolo.
With Chinese and English Surtitles.
