Last weekend I went to see a Cantonese Opera for the first time. The extraordinary makeup means that the identify of each actor is mostly hidden. Also, although I can understand more Cantonese than I can speak, I couldn’t understand any of it sung so the meaning of the opera was almost totally hidden from me.

What an unusual and clever interpretation Georgia !
Will you go again 😉
Thanks Poppy! These performers are good friends of my dad’s and they do a performance each year so if I’m in town again when they are performing I’d go but I won’t go out of my way to find another performance to see 😉
The costumes are beautiful.
They certainly are Colline, imported from China apparently.
I love these colors.
Me too Kongo!
I went to an opera once that I could not understand. By the middle, I was making up meanings in my head…..I was giggling so hard to myself. Yup, I can entertain myself easily. Beautiful shot, Sweet Friend! 😀
Haha that is great Skye! We had a short introduction to each section but I found it hard to make something like ‘she died and he pined for her’ go on for 20 minutes in my head. I’d love to have your imagination!
🙂 Just give it a try…I know you have a great one, too!! 🙂
Thanks Skye 🙂
gorgeous!
Thanks Cindy
I went to an opera in Beijing and hadn’t a clue about what was going on. 🙂 Good take on the challenge.
Did you enjoy it anyway Ad? Thank you
Yes I did. I enjoy new experiences, but some I wouldn’t repeat. 🙂
Ah, I know what you mean 😉
