Celebrating the artistic traditions of comic Gaojia opera through a contemporary lens
This year’s Black Box Chinese Opera Festival offers Hong Kong audiences a rare opportunity to enjoy a a distinctive regional genre famed for its comic plots and characters.
The Gaojia opera production Sister A Da is a quintessential comedy of errors. Played by an all-chou (comic role) cast, it presents an affectionate portrayal of an archetypal kind-hearted busybody – an ordinary woman with an extraordinary sense of justice.
Featuring China Theatre Plum Blossom Award-winner Wu Jingjing – artistic director of Jin Liansheng – in the lead role, this abridged adaptation of one of the troupe’s acclaimed full-length productions celebrates the artistic traditions of Gaojia opera through a contemporary lens.
This programme is produced and performed by Jin Liansheng Gaojia Opera Troupe of Xiamen City, and presented as part of the Black Box Chinese Opera Festival 2023. The Black Box Chinese Opera Festival 2023 is presented by the Xiqu Centre, with the Yam Kim Fai and Pak Suet Sin Charitable Foundation as title sponsor.
