China
🎧  Listen to Introduction

Cantonese opera is a drama style sung in Cantonese with a history of more than 300 years. Cantonese opera absorbs multiple musical and dramatic elements, perfectly combines the bangzi and erhuang vocal tunes with the Cantonese dialect, creatively expands the artistic expression of Chinese opera, and becomes the epitome of Chinese northern and southern opera art, which is very different from other Chinese opera genres. As the most influential Chinese opera genre in the Cantonese dialect area and the most representative overseas, Cantonese opera, with its diverse and unique performance forms, permeates the traditional and modern life of Lingnan, and becomes an important medium for ethnic identity and cultural exchange.
