	Chinatown, Birmingham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Chinese Quarter is an area of Birmingham, United Kingdom.
		First emerging as an informal cluster of Chinese community organizations, social clubs, and businesses in the 1960s centred around Hurst Street, as a result of post-World War II migration from Hong Kong, the Chinese Quarter was officially recognized in the 1980s.
		It is well-known for its Chinese restaurants, such as the China Court Restaurant; for the parade which is held there each year to celebrate the Chinese New Year; for the Birmingham Hippodrome; and for being the location of the headquarters of Wing Yip.

	Guardian \| Ulysses ends his odyssey at a burnt-out ice rink
		Graham Vick, the respected opera director, is attempting his own radical solution to declining audiences and the trappings of elitism by staging a Monteverdi opera with a mix of professionals and amateurs in a burnt-out ice rink in Birmingham's Chinatown.
		The company had also made its mark on the people of Birmingham, he felt - people were "walking around whistling tunes from Wozzeck or discussing their favourite bits of Monteverdi".
		Instead of producing small-scale touring opera on a traditional model, he took Berg's Wozzeck to a council estate and used non-professional performers alongside his highly trained singers and players, ensuring that the ethnic mix of the cast mirrored the mix of the city.
