Chinese street opera in Singapore is just one part of the book. It has a lot of information about Chinese opera. However, the photos were about street opera in Singapore.
Some topics in the book : general history of Chinese opera, history of Chinese street opera in Singapore, types of Chinese opera, roles, costumes, make-up, music, religion and superstition. The author has put a lot of effort in the book.
I have scanned more pages to show you .....
What the author says .....
Puay Tin and Amai .....

The Chinese words mean women cannot sit .....
A huadan touching up her face .....
A board announcing the show for the night .....
A performance in progress .....
