Stepping into its 40th anniversary, Hong Kong Ballet presents Peter Pan (Asian Première) from 16 to 25 August in Grand Theatre, Hong Kong Cultural Centre and Auditorium, Sha Tin Town Hall. With vibrant choreography that combines classical ballet, clever slapstick and a touch of hip hop, Peter Pan will be showing a high-flying adventure to Neverland with cheeky pirates, Indian princesses, hungry crocodiles and naughty boys who don't want to grow up.
We are thrilled to give dance lovers a unique opportunity to learn more about and try dancing the choreography of Peter Pan first hand. Our Peter Pan repetiteurs Jared Nelson and Morgann Rose will teach a dedicated dance workshop of Peter Pan on 20th July.
Come to experience the energy and creativity of Peter Pan!
