29sept Mid-Autumn Cantonese Opera performance at Kereta Ayer CC.

On the same evening, there was another performance at Radin Mas CC. But the turnout to our performance was overwhelming. It was more than full house at the auditorium and it was necessary to add another 30 seats. Many fellow enthusiasts turned out and there were some surprises.

It was very heart warming, however, that veteran VIP, Joanna Wong, JP ( Chinese Theatre Circle and Chairperson of Pat Wor Hui Kun), and some supporters, came especially just to watch my performance and left the auditorium right after my show.

Ha, finally, at last, i.e. after two months of drilling practises, under the constant urging of the female vocalist, Auntie Hor Kum Yoke, we delivered to the delights of the audience. They seem to like it.

For one reason, it was exceptional in the sense that the song was short, only 14 minutes and it is not available on CD or VCD. Secondly, the ingredients, i.e. the melody and lyric were typically classic, compared to recent years popular 25 or 30-min duration songs available on VCD. Thirdly, of course, my partner and myself tried our best to mimic the singing styles of Hor Fei Farn and Hong Sian Nui, the masters of the 50's. The rendering was likened to remincense of yesteryears.

Furthermore, only the night before, whilst I was rehearsing at home, I tried to add hand and body gesture. And subsequently, during the actual performance, I subconsciously added gesture to dramatize the different parts of the role during male vocal singing. Examples, bowing to pay respect to the Buddha, pointing two fingers whilst criticising the wife who came to greet the new zhuang yuen (Emperor-appointed Top Imperial Scholar), lastly, admitting the mistake, bowing, thanking the wife and holding her hand, etc.

When I was bowing my head to admit "my mistake" to the wife, the audience applauded. And since they applauded, I bowed to the left and to the central and to the right, and there were more continuous applause from some of the audience. It was fun, even though only some of the audience was fooled by my bowing. The experience was delightful.


On my part when I was singing the second part, there was a little slip after I glanced at my partner, but I managed to realize and corrected instantly. Thanks to the blessing of Wah Kong Shi Fu.

Feedback:
Hongxi, Wow ! Your stage blog is awesome. Very systematically and excitedly you unveil the writeouts, pictures & the video clips of short opera singing. Today I spent a little time watching & listening to "Wang Zhao Jun"-- my favourite song. Will listen to others by and by. Finally you have set up a blog which you call your own. With your years of singing experience, your passion for the Cantonese opera & the interest of reading the various aspects of the opera have enabled you to produce such a piece of fine work. As a friend I would say "Well Done!" So much time & effort have been put in. Regards. Jeanette. (Singapore)


粤剧

流行于广东全省、广西壮族自治区南部和香港、澳门等地。东南亚以及大洋洲、美洲的广东华侨聚居地区，也有粤剧演出。东南亚一带且有世代相承的艺人、固定的班社组织、同业行会和传统演出场地，如新加坡的“庆维新”、吉隆坡的“普长春”。
明末清初，弋阳腔、昆山腔由“外江班”传入广东，继而出现了广东“本地班”，所唱声腔是一唱众和，称为“广腔”。在后来粤剧常演的开台例戏《六国封相》、《仙姬送子》、《八仙贺寿》中，仍保存了这种声腔。清嘉庆、道光年间，高腔、昆腔逐渐衰落，“本地班”遂以梆子（指接近汉调西皮和祁阳戏“北路”的曲调）为主要唱腔。后徽班影响日益扩大，又以“梆簧”（即西皮、二簧）作为基本唱调。同时也保留了部分昆、弋、广腔，并吸收广东民间乐曲和时调，逐渐形成粤剧。
辛亥革命时期，一些具有爱国思想的艺人，受春柳社新剧（俗称文明戏）的影响，纷纷组织“志士班”，与工人、学生一起，进行反清反帝反封建的宣传，编演了《文天祥殉国》等戏。唱词通俗易懂，音乐上开始在“梆簧”唱腔中穿插民歌小调，唱法上改假声为“平喉”（真声），并经反复实践，全部改用广州方言演唱。1920年前后，不少粤剧大班社经常集中在广州、香港、澳门演出，习称“省港大班”。他们吸收了话剧、歌剧和电影的部分艺术营养，很快使自己丰富起来。
中华人民共和国成立后，逐步肃清了资本主义商业化的影响，积极挖掘、继承优秀传统，艺术上也进行了全面革新，不仅演出了不少优秀剧目，而且培养了一批新人。1958年，成立广东粤剧院。
粤剧的传统剧目，早期主要有《一捧雪》等所谓“江湖十八本”；清同治七年（1868）以后，又有《黄花山》等“新江湖十八本”；清光绪中叶，出现了侧重唱功的“粤剧文静戏”，如《仕林祭塔》等，称为“大排场十八本”。“省港大班”阶段的剧目有根据西文电影、小说改编的《贼王子》等。经过整理较有影响的剧目有传统剧《平贵别窑》、《凤仪亭》、《赵子龙催归》、《宝莲灯》、《西河会》、《罗成写书》以及现代戏《山乡风云》等。已经摄制成影片的有《搜书院》、《关汉卿》等。
粤剧的基本声腔为“梆簧“，并保留有弋阳腔与昆腔的部分曲牌以及南音、粤讴、木鱼、龙舟、板眼等广东民间说唱的曲调和民歌、乐曲、时代曲、小调等民间小曲。
粤剧的脚色行当原为末、生、旦、净、丑、外、小、夫、贴、杂10大行，“省港大班”时期精简为“六柱制”，即文武生、小生、正印花旦、二帮花旦、丑生、武生。 粤剧的表演艺术保持了早期“过山班”粗犷、质朴的特点。不少名演员都具有单脚、筋斗、滑索、踩跻、运眼、甩发、髯口等方面的绝招。武打以“南派武功”为基础，包括刚劲有力的靶子、手桥、少林拳以及高难度的椅子功和高台功。
粤剧的著名演员早期有参加太平天国起义，后建立“大成国”自称平靖王的二花脸李文茂，创建粤剧同业行会“八和会馆”的老生邝新华等。20世纪20年代至40年代，是被称为“薛马争雄”的年代，文武生薛觉先和丑生马师曾对粤剧的革新都颇有贡献。他们和小生白驹荣、小武桂名扬被称为粤剧“四大家”或“五大流派”（加上演丑的廖侠怀）。实行男女合班后，上海妹创造了粤剧女脚特有的抒情唱法，后以红线女影响最大。同时，广州的罗品超、文觉非、陈笑风和香港的新马师曾、何非凡、林家声等也都各有擅长，颇有影响。
