Our Immortal Cantata (Still Singing) | A Cappella

Premiered at the New Vision Arts Festival 2014 with high reputation, Our Immortal Cantata was awarded with The Best Original Music & Lyrics, The Best Sound Design and also one of The Best Productions of the Year at the 26th Hong Kong Drama Awards!

Spectacular music and literature have been written for men and women who committed suicides in the name of love. The Butterfly Lovers, Romeo and Juliet, Madame Butterfly, Princess Changping and her consort Zhou Shixian as well as Yu Fa and her lover Sub Yee Siu are all up against each other in The Greatest Suicide For Love, an underworld contest not unlike The Voice. Through song and dance, cat fights and most of all, a divine belief in their sacrifices, these neither folks hold nothing back to claim the winning title and be truly immortalized.

Reputation
“The re-run is just as amazing as the premiere! … So glad to see a local Hong Kong theatre production like this.”

“With humor and wit, it deconstructs a series of classic love tragedies and brings them to life with a modern touch.”

“Our Immortal Cantata is a well-developed and highly polished production, that has a tight storyline, smooth transitions between songs, dialogue, and movement, and impressive singing.”

“After watching Our Immortal Cantata, I couldn’t help but reflect—what is the nature of love? And what does it really mean to die for love?”
