Hong Kong repositions venues in a bid to boost development of performing arts
Sha Tin Town Hall will be reserved for Cantonese Opera while the Hong Kong Coliseum will be positioned as a concert venue, the government said on Thursday. The reform of the hiring policy of the city's performance venues is part of a wider effort to promote the mega-event development of the performing arts in Hong Kong, following the official opening of Kai Tak Stadium in March. The Leisure and Cultural Services Department said the latest move could provide more performance slots for use by different art groups and establish clearer venue identities. Under the reform, the 1,372-seat auditorium in Sha Tin Town Hall will be reserved for Cantonese opera, the first world-class intangible cultural heritage in Hong Kong. Professional troupes fulfilling certain criteria could make special bookings throughout the year for Cantonese opera or opera-excerpt performances to promote high-quality productions and the inheritance of the cultural heritage, the department added. The Hong Kong Coliseum in Hung Hom will prioritise concerts in an attempt to develop a live music economy.

Cristiano Ronaldo chose Hong Kong for museum as ‘door to Asia' – and plans to visit
Cristiano Ronaldo chose Hong Kong as the location for his latest CR7 Life Museum because of his huge fan base in China, his representatives said on Thursday. The Portuguese football star will also visit the city at some point when his museum is up and running in the K11 Musea shopping centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, they said. It is scheduled to open on July 7. According to Luis Parafita, one of the 40-year-old's representatives, Hong Kong was a 'natural' choice. 'This is the door to Asia. We have a huge fan base here,' he said. 'The connection that Cristiano already has with China and Asia is huge. 'Every year, he comes to this region of the world, so this was a natural selection, this [place] was very natural for us to choose.' Parafita said there were requests 'from all over the world' to host the museum, after the three-month test two years ago of a small museum in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Ronaldo plays for Al-Nassr. 'We understood that the fans expected much more, and now we have created here the first one that will travel to other places,' he said.
