Pictures from cantonese opera magazine 粵劇曲藝. These kids performed in HK recently. According to the magazine the audience had a fun and hilarious time laughing and clapping away. I think the happiest people must be their parents.
'打金枝'的小公主與小駙馬, 觀眾看得開心極了.
析梅巧遇的小小生和小花旦, 也大快人心.
洛水夢會, 小朋友雖然不懂情情愛愛或什麼是海枯石瀾, 也演得絲絲入扣, 唱得動聽.
小英雄, 易水送荊軻.

so cute~ I love kiddy opera~
Hahha... reminds me of Guangdong rod puppets.. so cute!
So Cantonese opera is far from a dying art. These little kids are successors to the throne.
I think it won't die but will get fewer performers and less audience. Conditions in Singapore are less favourable than in HK though the scene is quite vibrant.
When the kids grow up they may not be so keen.
Quite true. At their age, they won't quite mind how other people look at them, but as they grow up and "understand" more about the world out there, they'll usually start to get embaressed when being teased about their passion for Chinese opera, and whether or not they'll quit Chinese opera for good is yet to be known..
