In 2024, the C.F. Koo Foundation continues its efforts in cultural preservation by launching two annual program productions and maintaining the operation of Taiwan's only online opera channel, "Koo Cloud Theater." The foundation remains committed to managing the Children's Theater and will organize campus outreach lectures in conjunction with its annual programs. A key highlight was the reopening of the “A tourist theatre, TaipeiEye”on Lantern Festival, resuming operations after a four-year pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic..

In 2024, the C.F. Koo Foundation’s annual productions included the " Peking Opera Neo-Classics " series in the first half of the year and a New Neo-Classic Peking Opera, The Confidant, blending Peking and Kunqu opera styles, in the second half.
