I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(5) Yes. The Shen Yun dance troupe inquired in October
2019 to make a booking at His Majesty's Theatre from 6 to 20 March 2020. However, the whole booking
could not be accommodated due to a Perth Festival booking and the Perth Theatre Trust advised that the
booking was declined following programming deliberations.
