program notes
Yat Po Singers, Hong Kong's first and leading a capella choral theatre, presents This Victoria Has No Secrets, a musical journey of nostalgia and hope inspired by Victoria Harbour. Famous for its world-renowned skyline, the harbour also bears witness to Hong Kong's transformation including the disappearance of Victoria City, the de-facto capital city during colonial period. In this production, tailor-made for Tai Kwun, historical fragments of the harbour including souvenirs, languages, folklore become muse for Yat Po Singers' co-artistic directors Yuri Ng, Ng Cheuk-yin and Patrick Chiu. Collaborating with renowned lyricist Chris Shum, they create a performance sung with pristine clarity, dry wit and a refreshing take on this significant landmark.
