Another Teochew Opera by Heavenly King 陈楚蕙
陈楚蕙 acted in this show 三看御妹刘金定 many times. She paired up with 谢子兰 of 泰中潮剧团 in Thailand. 陈楚蕙 and 沈惠贞 of China also acted in 三看御妹刘金定 when they performed in Singapore.
When I was a small boy, I watched 织云潮剧团 performed this classic opera 三看御妹刘金定 at the open space outside Block 68, Lorong 4, Toa Payoh. I was too young to appreciate the show but the crowd was fantastic. At that time, 织云潮剧团 had a strong team. The stage was packed with actresses when some 6 - 8 female soldiers accompanied 御妹刘金定 at the begining of the show. Nowadays, think I can only find such scene in Thailand or China Teochew opera troupes.
