Xiqu Centre, Theatre venue in West Kowloon Cultural District, Hong Kong

Xiqu Centre is a theatre building in West Kowloon Cultural District, Hong Kong, dedicated to Chinese opera and traditional stagecraft. The complex holds a large auditorium with more than a thousand seats, eight studios for rehearsals and instruction, a seminar room, and a smaller tea house theatre with traditional seating arranged around round tables.

The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority chose the design by Bing Thom Architects and Ronald Lu & Partners in December 2012, and construction began on 24 September 2013. The building was completed in 2018 at a cost of HK$2.7 billion, and it opened to the public on 20 January 2019. Before the official opening, the Cantonese opera troupe of the Chinese Artists Association performed the traditional opening ceremonies on 30 December 2018.

The name Xiqu is the Mandarin pinyin for 'Chinese opera', chosen in 2006 over 'Chinese Opera Centre' because scholars and industry figures argued that Western 'opera' does not cover the acrobatics, flag work, sleeve movements and martial arts of Chinese stagecraft. The choice drew over 300 complaints in 2013 for not using the Cantonese 'Hei Kuk'.

The centre sits on Austin Road West in Tsim Sha Tsui and opens daily from 10 AM to 10:30 PM, with a direct link to Austin MTR station. Information about current performances and events is available at the reception desk, and the building is accessible throughout.

The tea house theatre seats audiences at round tables and serves traditional tea and dim sum during performances, recreating the experience of early opera houses in Hong Kong. These shows often run shorter and allow a relaxed introduction to Chinese opera forms, where eating and watching blend together.
