Begin Performance

The book is a collection of Cantonese Opera critic Zhang Minhui's comments on Hong Kong's Cantonese Opera performances from 2011 to early 2014. Each article has left an important mark on a noteworthy performance.Decades of sincere motions for Cantonese Opera, accumulated and experienced knowledge, as well as the practical attitude of considering a play as it stands make her writing and viewpoints have a modest, gentle and sharp-pointed strength.Although she would share shrewd and ruthless experience of senior audiences in her comments on Cantonese Opera performances, more of her writing came from her concern, comments and encouragement for the new generation of new talents of Cantonese Opera. Those suggestions are kind and sharp:What's wrong with the classic plays after being newly compiled?How to make innovation on classic themes?What are the gratifying and regrettable points of young players' "e;gesture, eye expression, figure, gait and skills"e;?A play, a group of people, and an article are worth reading carefully.
