The Carnival Musical Spectacular
During a rehearsal for the Christmas Circus, the circus's playful animal performers get a little too excited. In their enthusiasm, they accidentally knock over the sleigh filled with gifts, causing them to scatter across the carnival. Ringo the Ringmaster must rally the audience to help track down the gifts, using musical circus tricks along the way!
Ringo and his band of performers — Jolly the Juggler, who engages the crowd with dazzling juggling routines, Chloe the Clown, whose comedic antics bring laughter and joy, and Tara the Tightrope Walker, who inspires the audience with graceful balance — embark on a heartwarming quest to recover the lost treasures with the help of the audience.
As the enchanting SAR Philharmonic Orchestra leads with inspiring music, each act becomes an interactive adventure. From playful dance-offs to humorous skits, the audience participates in the search, learning the true meaning of giving and community along the way.
As the performances unfold, Ringo and his friends discover that the greatest gift is not just the physical treasures but the joy, laughter, and connection shared among everyone. The show culminates in a grand celebration, reinforcing the spirit of Christmas as they all come together to restore the magic of the season.

香港芝寶冠名贊助:《劉卓威逆境前行結他音樂會》
At this year’s "Marching Forward Through Adversity" Guitar Concert, Jacky Lau is eager to share his dream-chasing journey with everyone through music. He once said, "The ultimate goal of playing the guitar is to change the world!" Even when facing financial losses and battling cancer, he kept going—he even carried his guitar into Africa to seek guidance from a Guitar Sage living in the forest. This unwavering dedication led his story to be included in a textbook by Oxford University Press (UK), and he was nominated for the "Hong Kong Youth DreamMaker" award, eventually becoming one of only 10 winners in Hong Kong. Driven by a commitment to serving others, Jacky also won the "2024 Hong Kong Outstanding Volunteer Award" last year, earning recognition from all sectors of society.
Beyond enjoying Jacky’s beautiful guitar renditions of various pieces, everyone who attends his concerts can’t help but praise: "Listening to Jacky share his stories is even more joyful than watching a stand-up comedy show!" And Jacky’s response? "Because life should be filled with laughter and joy in the first place! I’m just using my own way to reignite everyone’s happiness!"
So don’t miss out—join us for a warm, laughter-filled concert together!

The Journey in Art
Five hundred years ago, the Monkey King and Marshal Tianpeng clashed in a fierce battle within the Celestial Palace. From the remnants of their conflict, seven spirit pearls descended to the mortal realm, transforming into seven sworn siblings. Now, as celestial storms rise once more, the martial world is thrown into chaos.
In the Celestial Palace, Chang’e plots to steal the Moonlight Box, hoping to end her thousand-year solitude. Marshal Tianpeng vows to claim the box for his beloved. But Sun Wukong has already stolen it from Master Jiugong, intending to elope with Zixia. During their time together, he casually utters the monkey phrase “Ya Shi Xiu Ku” - a saying rich with hidden meaning. As three forces collide, Heaven descends into disorder. Enraged, Master Jiugong transforms into Lord Void and descends to the mortal realm, seeking vengeance.
The mortal martial world is in turmoil. The eldest sister, Yi Jiu Yun, is captured by the Peach Blossom Immortal and forced to practice dark arts, absorbing the essence of villagers and becoming a public enemy. In response, the martial world convenes a demon-subduing assembly. The spider demon Chun Sanniang declares: whoever can stare into her eyes for seven seconds shall marry her. Meanwhile, the Bull Demon King disguises himself to sow chaos, making it impossible to distinguish the true Monkey King from the impostors. Amid the confusion, Sun Xiaotian emerges as the sole victor.

Amid the confusion, Sun Xiaotian emerges as the sole victor.
Nine Claws’ true identity is revealed—she is the incarnation of Marshal Tianpeng’s lost Nine-Tooth Rake. She forms a new scripture-seeking team with Sun Xiaotian and Jiang Liu’er, and shares the cryptic phrase “Ya Shi Xiu Ku” with the White Snake demon Bai Ling. As two groups journey forward in parallel, the path ahead grows increasingly mysterious.
Si Lianhuan and Bai Jingjing ascend Five Finger Mountain to rescue Sun Wukong.
The former Great Sage has lost his powers, Liangtouteng is plagued by self-doubt, and Lord Void secretly plots his revenge. In a moment of desperation, the seven spirit pearls reappear, unleashing a mysterious and powerful force.
This is a story of identity and self-discovery. In a world where truth and illusion blur, each character embarks on a journey to uncover their true self: Nine Claws transforms from a weapon into an independent being; Sun Xiaotian searches for authenticity amid deception; Chun Sanniang wrestles with the conflict between her demon nature and human emotion; Jiang Liu’er redefines his purpose; Sun Wukong reexamines what it means to be a hero; and Marshal Tianpeng faces a choice between love and duty. As the seven spirit pearls unite, heroes rise—and the battle for the survival of the three realms begins.
