Missed the opportunity to watch Guangdong Teochew Opera Troupe 1 performed 趙少卿 when they were in Singapore. I have watched this show by the then local teochew street opera troupes, 老三正顺潮剧团, 新一天彩潮剧团 and 新荣和兴潮剧团 many years ago. Of the 3 troupes, I am of the opinion that 老三正顺潮剧团 had put up the best performance. When 老三正顺潮剧团 staged this performance in Toa Payoh, it was called 铁面巡按。At that time, the troupe had many actors and actresses to play the different key roles of the show. The show lasted about 4 to 4.5 hours. It was stagged as a one night performance unlike 趙少卿 by 广东潮剧院一团 which was performed in two parts over two sessions.
Managed to get 黄映伟 and 吴奕敏 to sign on the magazine.
Huh! I had a Thai friend who's acting in 老三正顺潮剧团, but that 老三正顺潮剧团 is in Thailand. Hee...

ReplyDeleteDo you still maintain contact with your Thai friend? Which part of Thailand does the troupe perform regularly?
ReplyDeleteI still maintain contact with my friend, but not frequently la, since he always loses his phone! Hahahaha... currently he's performing in Butterworth/ Penang region, going back to Bangkok during the "9th Emperor God" festival.. Actually his troupe travel all over Thailand and northern Malaysia, not fixed in a certain region. He once told me that he performs almost everyday, and I think it's hard to believe!
