Opera Hong Kong
www.operahongkong.orgFounded in 2003 Opera Hong Kong (OHK) is Hong Kong’s first professional opera company. Over the years, the company has gone from strength to strength under the Artistic Director Warren Mok, the internationally acclaimed Hong Kong tenor. OHK has elevated opera in the Asia’s world city, with many world-class productions covering all major works in the operatic canon and has collaborated with opera houses and festivals including Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, Taormina Opera Festival, Theater Erfurt, Opéra de Nice, National Centre for the Performing Arts and Shanghai Opera House. In 2019, OHK was selected by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council as one of the three recipients of the coveted “Eminent Arts Group Scheme”. The Scheme’s consecutive 5-year funding has become a boost to further the company’s development. OHK is committed to promoting the city’s brightest, young opera singers. In 2015, OHK received the donation from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust to launch the three-year opera training programme Jockey Club Opera Hong Kong Young Artist Development Programme (the Programme). The success of the programme led to its renewal by the Jockey Club for another three years from 2019 to 2022, providing intensive training to 12 local artists. OHK also places a strong emphasis on its education and community activities. Opera school tours, summer schools and master classes are held regularly to reach young audiences. The music centre in Wanchai provides a wide range of courses for early age children to adult in addition to Children Chorus classes. The OHK Chorus and the OHK Children Chorus were established in 2004 and 2008, respectively and are becoming recognised contributors on the local choral scene. The recent development of the Greater Bay Area has created an environment for OHK to initiate more collaborations and bring the art of opera to a wider audience.
