Prima Facie
今天的我盤問昨日的我。
Tessa，一個事業如日中天的刑事辯護女大律師，擅長替涉及性侵的加害人辯護。然而，一場突如其來的打擊，頓使她轉換了身份、角色。她站上證人台，不停被盤問、質疑、指控⋯⋯她赫然發現一切都顛覆了她從前堅守的信念，她開始叩問法律及制度存在的意義。
即使會犧牲自己及所有，你仍會竭力去挑戰曾經深信的一切嗎？

The 22nd Classics for Kids Christmas Concert - The Christmas Fairy Symphony
The SAR Philharmonic Orchestra, in collaboration with Creative Collab and Baumhaus, invite you to a festive family outing of orchestral music and live theatre. Enjoy enchanting renditions of musical masterpieces and beloved Christmas songs, brought to life by a vibrant troupe of singers and dancers.
In the enchanted realm of the North Pole, the Christmas Fairy Symphony is responsible for maintaining the joyful melodies, lively rhythms, and dynamic harmonies that power the Christmas spirit around the world. But this year, the fairies' music has begun to falter, and the once-vibrant magic of the season is starting to fade.
Enter Melody, Rhythm, and Dynamics – three fairy musicians who have yet to fully embrace their innate magical abilities. Melody, the fairy of soaring vocals and enchanting tunes, struggles with stage fright. Rhythm, the fairy of infectious beats and lively tempos, can't seem to find her groove. And Dynamics, the fairy of rich harmonies and swelling crescendos, is afraid of her own power.
As Christmas Eve approaches and the music of the North Pole falls silent, Melody, Rhythm, and Dynamics must band together, overcome their fears, and unlock the full extent of their musical magic. With the help of the head conductor, Santa, and the rest of the fairy orchestra, the trio embark on a journey of self-discovery that takes them through the whimsical workshops, snowy landscapes, and joyful celebrations of the North Pole.
Along the way, they'll need to master their individual fairy powers and learn to blend their unique musical abilities to create a symphony of Christmas spirit powerful enough to save the holiday.
In the end, Melody, Rhythm, and Dynamics don't just rediscover their own magic – they learn the true meaning of friendship, teamwork, and the transformative power of music.

Under the baton of Music Director KK Chiu and with the help of the audience, the performers will showcase a variety of musical forms, instruments, and interactive activities, creating an engaging, educational, and immersive experience that is suitable for all ages.
A portion of proceeds support music scholarships – the perfect way to celebrate the season of giving! Students under 12 in the VIP section ($660 tickets) will be invited on stage to participate as a Mini Maestro conducting the orchestra!

Once Upon a Time
Exclusive moments in Hong Kong
There are faces whom you’d recognise from time to time.
There are movies that you can never get over with.
There are songs you would replay on lonely nights.
There are words that only you would understand.
Some things you can never find a better moment to do it than now.
A rendezvous by the Victoria Harbour this winter .

The Journey in Art
Five hundred years ago, the Great Sage Sun Wukong incited chaos in Heaven, upending the Heavenly Court. After a fierce battle with the Marshal Canopy, the Great Sage was ultimately subdued by the Buddha. This epic conflict transformed into ten blazing fireballs that fell to the Earth. Meanwhile, Zixia descended with the Moonlight Treasure Box in search of her beloved.
Today, five hundred years later, Tang Seng passes by Wuzhi Mountain, aiming to rescue the Great Sage who has been imprisoned for centuries, attracting the attention of various demons. Monsters gather around Wuzhi Mountain, and a group of ten siblings from the "Demon-Hunting Youth Team" inadvertently saves Tang Seng. The fourth sibling, Zizun Bao, encounters the fairy Zixia, while the ninth sibling, Jiuzhuazi, runs into the Marshal Canopy who is planning to kill the Great Sage, adding further complexity to the situation.
The Bull Demon King attacks the village again, but his target is not Tang Seng instead, he seeks the divine artifacts transformed into fireballs—the Fire-Eyed Golden Beholder and the Heart of the Sky Stone. The ten siblings gradually discover their true identities, revealing that they are the reincarnations of the divine warriors who participated in suppressing the Great Sage five hundred years ago.
Fate takes a cruel turn when Zhu Xiaowu tragically loses his life. This loss finally humbles the once proud Great Sage. He decides to let go of the past and accompany Tang Seng on his journey to the West, seeking the love that belongs to him in Huaguo Mountain.
