Synopsis
Cantonese opera originated, evolved and reached its maturity in the Lingnan region of south China, famous for its unique local colors and ethnical characteristics. Cantonese opera evolved from the ten-role constitution and six-leading-role system, eventually forming the cast of star-actors or star-actresses. The routine arrangement of a series of stage performance produces the conventional bridges of the performing assembly on the stage which is often very expressive in arousing the audience s reaction. The scripts of Cantonese opera come frequently with the adaption of the first-class literary works, represented by the repertoire of eighteen plays. The script outline gives the performers freedom to show their talent and skills on the one hand, challenge them on the other hand with difficulties of unpreparedness. The literary tradition in Cantonese opera emphasizes the comprehensive presentation of the verse chanting, stage image and the effect of storytelling. The combination of film and Cantonese opera extends the artistic expression from the traditional stage.
