Cantonese opera is one of the major categories in Chinese opera, originating in southern China's Cantonese culture. It is popular in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore and Malaysia. Like all versions of Chinese opera, it is a traditional Chinese art form, involving music, singing, martial arts, acrobatics, and acting.
I love 六國大封相. It's one of my favourites cantonese operas!
This is suppoosed to be the bonus show for the opening night of the gig. It serves 3 functions. One, this is a happy program when a poor schoalr finally convinced the head of six states to hire him as the prime minister to fight against Qi. Two, it is said to bring good luck for the troupe. Three, give everyone a chance to gain some stage experience. There is a lot of stylized postures amd gestures singing is not required. As such,very little music.
