"Through the lenses of our various cameras, smart phones and other photo taking devices, we not only encountered the history of Mount Davis, but also explored the breathtaking views with the best photo taking angles. The highest point overlooked a perfect combination of the concrete jungle and natural beauty so intrinsic to Hong Kong.” Earlier last month, the Intercultural Initiatives Team organised an outing to the Mount Davis Battery; Check out a review of the trip by Nathasha Bogoda and Silma Subah, as well as some gorgeous photos by Simon Yuanjie Yang! http://www.chisuncollege.hku.hk/2017/10/chi-sun-spotlight-hike-to-mount-davis-a-locked-gate-mating-calls-and-a-view-of-historical-significance/

“Grigolo exuded extraordinary passion, vocally and physically… Damrau traced the heroine’s emotional state exquisitely from girlish giddiness to tragic sacrifice.” - Financial Times Perhaps the most enduringly successful of the many operatic settings of the world’s consummate love story, Roméo et Juliette is an excellent example of French Romanticism, a tradition that values subtlety, sensuality, and graceful vocal delivery over showy effects. In the opera there is a slight shift of focus away from the word games of the original play and a greater focus on the two lovers, who are given four irresistible duets, including a brief final reunion in the tomb scene that does not appear in the play. Join us as we explore the world of operatic music with a front-row ticket to this world-class production from The Metropolitan Opera, right at the comfort of the College Hall. Event Details: Date: November 4 (Saturday) Time: 6-10pm Venue: College Hall, Jockey Club Student Village III Sandwiches and drinks will be served during intermission Free Admission for HKU students.
