Chorus of The Opera Society of Hong Kong
The Opera Society of Hong Kong was founded by a group of dedicated and enthusiastic singers. They come from all walks of life and share a common desire to promote opera and musical theatre to the people of Hong Kong. Since 1992, the Chorus of The Opera Society of Hong Kong has performed in the Urban Council productions of Verdi's Otello, Rigoletto, La Traviata, Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor and Puccini's Turandot under the direction of Chorusmaster and Chairman Raymond Fu. In 1996, the Chorus presented A Night at the Opera in association with the Hong Kong Sinfonietta. 1997 has so far been another exciting year for the Chorus. Performances have included Beethoven's Symphony No.9 with Sir Neville Marriner and St. Martin in the Fields presented by The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus and Verdi's Aida presented by the Provisional Urban Council. The Opera Society will be performing next in the Provisional Regional Council's operatta production The Merry Widow by Lehar in January 1998.
