A NIGHT OF CANTONESE OPERA

I am gloating over the 'success'of this small effort of bringing Cantonese Opera to klpac, via The Actors Studio Teater Rakyat, made possible by the the grace of God, Mdm Kam and JTi. I am so happy the first night opened with a 75% house, tonight is already more than half and Sunday afternoon is lose to a full house. Cantonese Opera for me is special, just like Bangsawan when we were young and living in Penang we had our special evenings at the New World Park at Swatow Lane, feasting our eyes on the beautiful costumes ad our ears on the music and songs complete with the glitter. Last night there was a lump in my throat as I lived through those years with Mdm Kam and her troupe taking us through 3 scenes from 'DREAM OF THE RED CHAMBER', 'THE MIRROR REUNION',and GENERAL DIK CHING. Thank you all for helping to see this through, especially Mdm. Kam, Mr. Heong, Ashraf, our team at klpac and the media. God willing, in October 2010, in celebration of TAS@LOT10's 1st anniversary, we will present Cantonese Opera again in full glory!
