Welcome to your Thursday Brew. We'll jump straight in after the news with another collection of tracks that are all... 'Brewed in HK'. Mark Rawson has been out there collecting, and he'll be with us to introduce you to another slice of homegrown talent. At 12:40 we're off to the opera! We'll welcome Peter Gordon, who's the Artistic Director of operalab, who essentially take well known large operas, shrink them (seriously so), and take them out to all sorts of cool venues around town. Today he'll invite you to his micro-version of the Puccini classic... La Boheme. This coming weekend we'll be covering the 2024 Hong Kong Open (that's golf) in some depth with Danny Hicks. Even though the event starts in earnest today, the rain really hasn't helped. Danny will be with us at 1:25 for a 'Sports and All' Extra, live from Fanling. Join him on Facebook live.

Welcome to the start of two busy sporting weeks here on Radio 3. On today's Brew, we'll welcome motorsport magnate Tim Huxley at 12:10, as it's officially Macau Grand Prix week. Then, at 1:25, we're off to Ho Chi Minh City for this week's Vietnam report from Neil Runcieman. One of the big discussion points there right now is how Trump’s election may signal an economic bonanza for Vietnam. Join Neil on Facebook live if you can.
