In Hong Kong, the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong performed a fun and family-friendly musical called Shark Symphony. The musical, written by Leanne Nicholls, revolves around the theme of sustainability and tells the story of two businessmen who open an underwater restaurant called 'The Deep' that focuses on serving sustainable seafood. The musical features a diverse cast of performers and showcases spectacular costumes, including acrobatic and dance performances by actors dressed as lobsters, jellyfish, and other sea creatures. The second half of the musical introduces conflict when the daughter of one of the businessmen objects to serving shark fin soup at her wedding banquet. However, the tension is left unresolved as the story ends abruptly. The musical is semi-staged, with the orchestra performing behind a gauze screen while computer-generated views of the underwater world are projected onto the screen. The first half of the musical consists of nine songs, while the second half features seven songs. Although the focus of the production is more on the action and costumes rather than the music, Shark Symphony provides entertainment and surprises for both children and parents. The City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong has previously created musicals centered around bugs, jungle animals, and marine life [bbef9b7b].
