Yat Po Singers and Swire tenants
Reviewed: February 4
Homegrown troupe Yat Po Singers and talented amateurs working in Taikoo Shing put together a series of entertaining shows last week under the A capella-la-la programme held at ArtisTree, Swire Properties’ dedicated art space in Taikoo Place.
Created by Yat Po, Hong Kong’s first professional a cappella choral theatre company, the two 30-minute shows premiered on Thursday combined stage and vocal techniques with contrasting effect.
The Way We Work, a tale of four stereotypical office workers who tackle a company assignment with differing mindsets, offered a humorous take on machinations in the workplace. Addio Turandot, based on Puccini’s final operatic work, explored the nature of love, pride and regret through the icy Princess Turandot.
Both pieces of musical theatre illustrated the success of Project After 6¸Swire’s tenant engagement programme which aims to bring out hidden performing talents among the people working in its properties at Cityplaza and Taikoo Place.
