[Hong Kong — 13 August 2026] In Hong Kong’s first artistic residential development project, Hong Kong Ballet (HKB) will collaborate with China Resources Land (CR Land) to provide interactive ballet workshops and exclusive rehearsals led by HKB dancers for residents at the newly constructed The Sterling in southwest Kowloon. The Sterling features six residential towers with over 2,200 units, and the clubhouse and gardens cover over 170,000 square feet.
Hong Kong Ballet is committed to combining world‑class artistic excellence with accessibility and strives to bring the beauty of ballet closer to diverse communities. Bold and community-focused, the unique ballet programmes will bring distinctive cultural and refined lifestyle elements to The Sterling.
HKB Artistic Director Septime Webre said, ‘Hong Kong Ballet and China Resources Land share a commitment to building vibrant, people-centred communities, so this is a natural partnership. CR Land shapes quality urban living environments, while HKB brings world-class artistry and accessible cultural experiences to audiences of all ages. Together, we envision a collaboration for The Sterling that enriches residents’ daily lives through ballet workshops to enhance residents’ experience and to support the development’s identity as a distinctive cultural community. We are thrilled to embark on this journey together!’
HKB Executive Director Heidi Lee shared, ‘For the first time, we are stepping into the private clubhouse of a Hong Kong residential development to present exclusive ballet workshops and performance previews for its residents. This is not only an artistic encounter, but also a way of weaving ballet’s elegance and vitality directly into daily life. As a company honoured by UNESCO and the Spirit of Hong Kong Awards, we are proud to bring excellence and community engagement into The Sterling. This collaboration highlights the unique positioning of The Sterling: more than a residence, it is a space where art and life intertwine. Hong Kong Ballet’s presence embodies the spirit of refined living and offers residents a richer, more diverse and tasteful lifestyle experience’
