Live concerts, theatre and dance performances resuming in Hong Kong next week – but don’t forget to wear your face mask

Finally, there’s relief for performance-starved Hongkongers – next week, the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra kicks off its 2020/21 season with a continuation of Beethoven’s 250th birthday celebrations. Other performing arts groups are also returning to the stage as the city’s third wave of Covid-19 gradually wanes.

The resumption of live performances means that this year’s season openings are more or less on track. Given the continuing international travel restrictions, though, local performers will be given the chance to shine on their own.
