As 2026 begins, Broadway legend Brad Little—hailed as one of the most iconic "Phantoms" of all time—will bring "The Phantom Returns" concert to Garden Hotel Guangzhou from January 2 to 4.
Unlike traditional concerts that focus solely on music, this exclusive event at Garden Hotel Guangzhou offers a refined fusion of sound and taste. In addition to enjoying Brad Little's magnificent live vocals, guests will be treated to a nine-course premium set dinner, creating a distinctive New Year ritual where fine cuisine and soaring melodies intertwine.
Brad Little's special bond with Chinese audiences dates back to 2004, when he first appeared on the Shanghai stage and set a record with over 100 consecutive performances, marking a significant milestone in the development of China's musical theatre market. At the time, numerous media outlets praised his portrayal of the Phantom, noting that its immense popularity led to additional performances. His commanding stage presence and artistic influence firmly established his unique status among Chinese audiences.
At this New Year concert, Brad Little will perform in an intimate, close-range live setting, revisiting iconic selections from classic musicals and offering audiences an immersive experience of the extraordinary charm of musical theatre. Adding to the anticipation, a mystery guest will make a special appearance, joining Brad Little on stage to create an unforgettable musical celebration exclusively for the New Year.
Centered on a "Music × Setting × Taste" multi-sensory concept, this New Year concert unfolds as a layered artistic journey. On the evening of the performance, guests will begin with a culinary experience: Waterfall (瀑布餐厅) will present a specially curated concert menu, setting the tone for the night with refined flavors and rhythm.
After dinner, guests will follow the thread of music into the hotel's back garden, moving to By The Pond (锦鲤酒吧), nestled in the embrace of the night. As lights shimmer and melodies rise, Brad Little's live performance will take place in a more intimate space, allowing the music to flow naturally through the night and emotions, creating a deeply immersive and personal concert atmosphere.
To complement the New Year concert, Garden Hotel Guangzhou has also designed themed scenic installations, weaving musical imagery into the details of the space. During the event, guests are invited to take photos at designated areas, capturing New Year moments amid the interplay of light, installations, and musical ambiance. From the anticipation before the concert to the lingering resonance afterward, each moment can be preserved through the lens, extending this New Year's night from the stage into life itself.
