A recurring series of the School of Chinese Opera, Gongs and Drums presents distinctive works of Cantonese opera, celebrating the collective effort by students from the Music and Performance streams of the School. The programme includes Chinese music performance, Cantonese operatic song performance, and an excerpt of Cantonese opera. Played by students from the Music stream, the Chinese music performance will include several famous pieces, including Thunder in the Drought, Battling the Typhoon, A Moonlit Night on the Spring River, The Galloping Battle Horses, and Golden Snake Dance. The Cantonese operatic song performance Three Glimpses of the Princess is about the romantic and affectionate story of Feng Jiajin, the son of the minister, who learns that the royal girl Liu Jinding is unwell and pretends to be a doctor to visit the princess. The singing performance is followed by \u201cFarewell\u201d from Island of Farewell, which is about the Yuan army\u2019s invasion of the south in the late Song Dynasty. Zhang Da, the former leader of Chaozhou, was demoted because of the emperor’s mediocrity, and assisted Aunt Xu as an ordinary citizen in military affairs together with his wife Chen Biniang. Later, upon receiving the imperial mission, Zhang Da was urged to lead the rebel army. With the strong support of folks around, Zhang Da led the army to fight back, dedicating himself to his country. Hong Kong Cantonese opera star Ms. Wan Fai Yin MH will be the Guest Director of the play. <\/p>\n
