Presented by the Life Encouraging Cantonese Opera Association (LECOA) under the Life Encouraging Fund, the inaugural Cantonese Opera Golden Bauhinia Awards presentation ceremony was held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Grand Theatre on 25 November 2019. Preparations for the ceremony began in 2018 as part of efforts to mark the tenth anniversary of Cantonese opera’s inscription on the UNESCO’s Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Just as the Hong Kong Film Awards carry the same weight as the Oscars for Hong Kong cinema, the Golden Bauhinia aspires to be its equivalent for Cantonese opera.
