Metropolitan Opera: Live in HD - HONG KONG

Finally, after more than 3 years since it started in the States and other Western countries, the opera fans in my native Hong Kong can watch operas from New York's Metropolitan Opera on the big screen.

The tickets in HK are very cheap, only $150 for adults and $100 for students. It cost me about £15-20 to see an opera at Cineworld, and here in Japan it's 3,000yen.

The down side though is that it's not shown at major cinemas or the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, instead it's at the Bethanie campus of the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts (all the way in the wilderness of Pok Fu Lam).
