This is to showcase selected arias from the Cantonese operatic repertoire. The performances consist of lyrical arias accompanied by traditional Chinese instruments. Performers adorn themselves with elaborated tailored costumes with their signature Chinese opera painted face. The opera arias were written from rhythmical poetry and the librettos were adapted from well-known Chinese works of literature.
The weekend of February 11 & 12 falls on Chinese Valentine's Day. Come and enjoy a culturally enriching afternoon!
