Description
Yat Po Singers, Hong Kong’s first and leading a cappella choral theatre company, presents “This Victoria Has No Secrets”, a musical journey of nostalgia and hope inspired by the iconic Victoria Harbour. Famous for its world-renowned skyline, the harbour also bears witness to Hong Kong’s transformation including the disappearance of Victoria City, a small island which Lord Palmerston denounced as a “barren rock” in 1841. The musical draws the audience together to reminisce on laughter and melancholy as shaped by events, experiences, perceptions and insight. Each of these memories, rooted in a locality, embroiders an album of our memories. Initially commissioned by Tai Kwun as the Opening Programme in 2018, the show by Yat Po Singers’ founding co-artistic directors Ng Cheuk Yin, Yuri Ng, Patrick Chiu and renowned lyricist Chris Shum earned rave reviews and acclaim. It enjoyed a rerun at the Hong Kong City Hall in 2019 with Anna Lo as choral director. Making its triumphant return to Tai Kwun in 2021 with an outdoor version, the production continues to blend historical fragments of the harbour including souvenirs, languages, folklore into a performance poignantly set against the backdrop of Tai Kwun, a significant landmark packed with over a century of history.
