Hong Kong Xiqu Centre, is the first major performing arts venue in the West Kowloon Cultural District, dedicated to the preservation, promotion and development of Xiqu, including Cantonese Xiqu and other traditional types, for audiences from around the world. Located on the waterfront of Victoria Harbour, in the heartland of Hong Kong, China, the West Kowloon Cultural District is one of the world's largest cultural districts, combining arts, education and public space.

 

As one of the key performing arts venues in Xiqu Center, the Grand Theatre can accommodate up to 1,073 audience members. Differ from Western opera venues, the Grand Theatre is specifically designed as a rounded interior space with additional curved gaps and acoustic walls that can absorb or rediffuse sound, making the venue more suitable for different instrumental and vocal performance.

 

L-Acoustics & DiGiCo are chosen for the audio system, and L-ISA immersive hyperreal sound technology is applied to allow the audience to enjoy the unique artistic charm of Xiqu in the theater in an immersive way. Compared with stereo, L-ISA can ensure that the audience inside a large area is not bound by the panning, so that every position in the venue could be the "sweet spot" and provides the audience with a natural and clear sound effect. The engineers can also use the L-ISA immersive system to locate, extend, distance, and move all sound objects, making art creation come alive.

 

Xiqu Centre not only provides a compelling arts venue for the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong, China, but also plays an important role in preserving and passing on the art of Chinese Xiqu. Its establishment has allowed opera to showcase the flavor and charm of Chinese culture to the world in a richer and more diverse form in the land of Hong Kong, China.
