A Preview of “The Prop Master’s Dream”, a Fusion Cantonese Opera Workshop (Culture Days)
Richmond Cultural Centre
7700 Minoru Gate
12:30pm-1pm
“The Prop Master’s Dream” is an innovative and experimental fusion opera. The goal is to raise awareness of the historical racial discrimination against Canadian Chinese and the Indigenous people. It is essential to effectively work toward the elimination of racial discrimination and inequality. Changing attitude and understanding is the key. “The Prop Master’s Dream” is a bilingual Chinese-English production. The musical composition of this opera reflects the difference between the two cultures, so we decided to go outside the box of traditional Cantonese Opera. In this new opera, we will weave together Cantonese opera singing with Indigenous singing, drumming, and Jazz musical traditions. Our event is to introduce to the audience the historical context of this opera, and the story background of this unique fusion opera.
