Sunbeam Theatre

The show we could debate, but the theater itself was hospitable to us english speakers and totally a good experience. If you need a night time event in hong kong you will remember this place.

One of the iconic establishments in Hong Kong to prove its age and culture.
Sunbeam has been at this exact spot for more than 40 years. It was once the best popular and prominent theatre for Chinese Operas. What Chinese Operas, you may ask? Yeah that’s why it is in its decline because no one ever watched Chinese Operas anymore, excepts maybe whoever above 50yo. Occasionally you’ll see these 50yo «fans» waiting at the backdoor of Sunbeam Theatre hoping to meet their Chinese Opera idols. No kidding.
I was born and raised in the neighborhood and always wanted to watch a Chinese Opera here, but the last time I was here was for a drama, 南海十三郎. Funny enough, it was a drama about a famous Chinese Opera writer. The theatre was very roomy, I could imagine why it was best for operas. Nothing you could ever complain really, and you could definitely tell they had do their best to modernize + renovate the whole place in order to attract the younger crowd.
It’s always good to see the «Full House 全院滿座» cotton cloth banner hanging up at the front door. Because every time it is hung, Sunbeam Theatre is a little bit further away from the constant threat of closure.
