Description

Description

The Hong Kong Young Talent Cantonese Opera Troupe aims to provide systematic training and performance opportunities for talented local young people to improve their artistic skills, guiding them to become the inheritors who help preserve and rejuvenate this traditional art form.

The programme is in three parts. First is a performance of an excerpt of a Wen (civil) opera Beating the Princess and a Wu (martial) opera Chasing after Her Husband from Di Qing. Participants are immersed in the roles and will quickly grasp the features of Cantonese opera. The second part consists of a lecture and demonstration by an instructor from the troupe. The students will be taught the Cantonese opera hand gestures, such as riding a horse, crossing a bridge, as well as Mandarin pronunciation for Cantonese opera. The third part is an interactive session for the students to practice simple hand gestures and Mandarin on stage.
