From March 27 to April 13, the original production of the musical "Sunset Boulevard" will be staged at Beijing Performing Arts Centre. Starring Sarah Brightman, hailed as the "Moonlight Goddess", the musical will tear off the ostentatious fantasy of the Golden Age of Hollywood, depicting the characters' tragic fate at the turn of eras.

In 2024, this unfailingly popular musical witnessed a brand-new rendering by Australian Theatre Royalty, along with Sarah Brightman, the legendary figure in the musical field. The new version features an immersive choreography that reproduces the extravagant scenes in the Golden Age of Hollywood. The audience will be led through Norma's glory and loneliness amid classic songs such as "With One Look", "The Perfect Year", and the breathtaking finale "As If We Never Said Goodbye".
