The young Matteo Ricci crossed the seas to the remote land of China in the East to spread the Christian faith. Before him were two choices: should he insist on transposing the then Western Catholic creeds onto China, or shed his own beliefs and uphold Chinese rituals and customs? He courageously chose a third path that no one before him had dared to take. He learned the Chinese language, strived to understand and appreciate Chinese culture with an open mind, and struck up friendships with courtiers and commoners alike. He devoted his energy and time to put his profound knowledge, discourse in literature, science, protocol, philosophy and religion to use, and finally forged the “Directives of Matteo Ricci” which was going to be a useful bridge between the cultures of East and West.


The original full-length musical, Matteo Ricci, was a sold-out event at its premiere and rerun. In this remade concert version, it will be an exciting experience for the audience, with the original cast returning to sing live.

In view of the uncertain development of COVID-19 in Hong Kong, Intercultural Dialogue and the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra have carefully weighed the situation. The ‘Matteo Ricci - The Musical Concert’, originally scheduled to be held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall between 23 and 25 April, 2021, will be cancelled.
