The annual Cantonese Opera Day in Hong Kong was held yesterday - the last Sunday of every November. I used to be a volunteer worker for the event. But as an opera lover, I decided to switch my role to be an audience since last year. That way I had more time to enjoy the event.
At the Cultural Centre along Tsimshatsui waterfront, there were various events and performance to promote Cantonese Opera. This year there is a slogan of 'The Young and The Vigorous'. The performers were very young and even with school boys and girls. They all do very well.
Here is a snapshot of The Legend of the White Snake. And the flag show below resembled water flooding when the White and Green Snake trying to rescue the husband of the White Snake. It was really wonderful and gained plenty of applauses from the audiences.
Well, apart from free shows, I'm glad to see that many young people love and participate in the traditional Canontese opera art and performance. With the beautiful world famous Victoria Harbour as the backdrop, it was a very enjoyable Sunday.
