Christmas might still be more than a month way, but there are those who are already getting fully into the festive mood. The Peninsula Hong Kong, for instance, is embracing the Yuletide spirit with a train-themed musical extravaganza. And for those looking to enjoy Hong Kong’s arts scene this season, the city has a lot to offer. From rare prints that give us a behind-the-scenes glimpse of Hollywood star Audrey Hepburn on the sets of My Fair Lady (1964) to award-winning actress Sylvia Chang’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream onstage, there’s something for everyone.

What: The American comedy My Fair Lady (1964) is one of Hollywood star Audrey Hepburn’s most well-remembered roles. This exhibition, which features both original prints from 1963 and recent reprints, showcases rare behind-the-scenes images from the film’s sets. American photographer Bob Willoughby, known for having documented Hepburn in his photography work for years, captured the cast and crew members as they took breaks, attended rehearsals and acted on the set. The show offers an insider’s look into the filmmaking process of the award-winning movie.
