"(He Hui) sounded as though she could have continued all night, and the audience's reception indicated that they would have listened." ¡Ð South China Morning Post
Chinese soprano He Hui was unforgettable as Cio Cio San in the Hong Kong Philharmonic's 2006 concert performances of Puccini's Madama Butterfly. Her gloriously rich soprano voice ranges effortlessly from the impassioned drama of Verdi's Leonore in La forza del destino to the delicate fragility of Liu in Puccini's Turandot. Recently appointed Music Director of Italy's historic Arena di Verona, Shanghai-born conductor Lü Jia won the hearts of Hong Kong audiences in 2006 conducting the HKPO's Symphony Under The Stars before an audience of 20,000 people.
