This interdisciplinary production brings new life to Henri Diamant-Berger’s 1921 silent film Les Trois Mousquetaires, blending Chinese opera, martial arts, Western classical music, and live performance into a striking contemporary vision. The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts unites all six of its schools—Music, Dance, Drama, Chinese Opera, Film & Television, and Theatre & Entertainment Arts—for a collaboration that bridges cultures and disciplines. French composer and conductor Béatrice Thiriet leads the artistic direction, creating original music, conducting live performances, and mentoring students in composition and performance. Filmmaker Jérôme Diamant-Berger, grandson of Henri Diamant-Berger, adds a parallel program of workshops and talks on cinema history, production, and preservation, offering unique insight into the legacy of early film. Together, stage and screen converge in a dynamic celebration of art, history, and innovation.
