Alice in Wonderland — Reimagined through the looking glass
Alice tumbles down the rabbit hole and into a land of wonder! She encounters the most extraordinary creatures, faces a grand showdown with the Queen of Hearts before heading home.
Seven professional singers lead Yip’s Children’s Choir and Yip’s Children’s Musical Theater in a seamless blend of Bel Canto and children’s voices, capturing the magic of this timeless fairy tale. Alice in Wonderland is a two-act children’s opera composed by Pierangelo Valtinoni, who is renowned for his work in the genre. It was co-commissioned by Yip’s Children’s Choir and Zürich Opera, and made its celebrated world premiere at the Hong Kong Arts Festival in 2021. This summer, a bold and imaginative new edition takes the stage at the International Arts Carnival. Not to be missed!
