Famous European equestrian theatre show Cavalluna to make Asian debut at Kai Tak Arena
Safe to say, this is not your average night at the theatre
Cavalluna, Europe's celebrated equestrian theatrical extravaganza, is set to make its historic Asian debut in Hong Kong. Crafted by Emmy-nominated director, composer, and author Klaus Hillebrecht, the production has already thrilled over nine million spectators across more than 30 European cities. Titled 'Gate to the Otherworld', the show will grace Kai Tak Arena from September 8 to 13, presenting a limited eight-performance run.
The spectacle boasts 54 majestic horses of eight different breeds - including Friesians from the Netherlands, Pura Raza Española from Spain, Lusitanos from Portugal, Arabians from the Middle East, and Mini Shetland Ponies. These equine stars will soar into Hong Kong aboard Boeing 747 freighters equipped with climate-controlled cargo compartments.
Meerin, a young sorceress with magic-inducing drawing power, is the narrative's central figure. After exile and capture by the malevolent warlock Röndrup and his niece, Meerin must confront dark forces and personal doubts to regain her powers. The story unfolds through intricate handcrafted costumes, an international dance troupe, and a dramatic cinematic score.
Expect awe-inspiring equestrian acrobatics, such as the Hungarian Post where a lone rider balances across two galloping horses while guiding others, trick riding, acrobatics, and liberty dressage - where horses perform without reins or tack, guided solely by body language. Tickets are now up for grabs from HK Ticketing, starting at $395 for standard seating and reaching up to $1,995 for first row seats. VIP tables seating six guests are priced at $27,220.
