More Than Musical will launch the world premiere of their new multimedia theatrical production in Summer 2021,  Carmen | Hong Kong , in Freespace. Featuring a score rearranged by renowned Italian musical director Elio Orciuolo, this 90-minute adaptation of Bizet’s classic opera is directed by the award-winning American Jennifer Williams, and performed by a cast of international and local singers, including Korean mezzo soprano Moon Jin Kim, Korean tenor Bumjoo Lee and Japanese bass Hidenori Inoue. 


Carmen | Hong Kong  is a multimedia theatrical production that fuses classical opera, music theatre, video design, and modern dance into an immersive experience. The adaptation reimagines Bizet’s iconic opera as a story about a Hong Kong woman and her unwavering pursuit of self-actualisation and her place in the world as a modern woman. 

Rather than being fixed in a specific historical moment, the story is set in an imagined future, a few years ahead of our present. The theatre will be turned into a contemporary and immersive environment which integrates space, light and video. Projections of videos and moving images and a kinetic sculpture, which the vocalists and the dancer will interact with, replace conventional theatrical set and props. These projections include video and photo references to buildings and scenery of Hong Kong as a homage to iconic aspects of the city’s cultural past.
