What a night of glamorous performance! What a life time experience!
Thanks to Tak Lau (劉德麗) for this rare opportunity for me to participate in this famous Cantonese Opera 范蠡與西施 夢會太湖.
It turned out to be a heavy chore for someone like me who doesn't know Cantonese. You can imagine all the guess work and laughs occurring in our practices and rehearsals. I played one of the four angels living by the lake side with the main lady who died there, according to the legend. This opera piece is taking place at the lake for those two lovers reunite. However, they won't be able to be happily there after. You know the rest.
The four angel performers were easily identifiable by their flamboyant costumes and stage makeup. It has marked an unforgettable threshold in my dancing career.
