Tea House Theatre Experience

The Tea House Theatre is an intimate 200-seat venue with a style evoking traditional Chinese tea houses. Its smaller scale, flexible seating and stall and balcony areas make it perfect for accessible traditional performances and black box productions.

The Xiqu Centre’s signature introduction to Cantonese opera offers a regular programme of excerpts, music and songs. Staged in the Tea House Theatre by the resident Rising Stars Tea House Troupe, the 90-minute performance is narrated by an expert moderator and subtitled in Chinese and English. Perfect for a unique corporate cultural event, the Tea House Theatre Experience takes you back in time for an up-close taste of Cantonese opera the heritage way.
