老赛桃源潮剧团 Lau Sai Tau Guan Teochew Opera Troupe
Another Teochew Opera Troupe In Singapore

老赛桃源潮剧团 is one of the local Teochew Opera Troupes which I seldom have many opportunities to watch their performances. In the past, it is quite rare to find this troupe perform in Yishun or Toa Payoh areas. However, I have a strong feeling for this troupe because my wife and I know the owner of this troupe Mr Ng. It was him who helped us fulfilled our wish to have a full make up and dressed up in chinese opera costumes for photo taking. Many thanks to Mr Ng. Below is the female lead who helped my wife with the make-up.

I recalled watching the show '逼反长安' by 老赛桃源潮剧团. Gosh! I was so impressed with their performance. My wife and I watched 老赛桃源潮剧团 performed 柴房会 at 粤海清庙 and many other shows in Ang Mo Kio. The last time I watched this troupe performed was outside Central Mall. 老赛桃源潮剧团 put up 铁面海瑞.

My wife was lucky enough to watch 老赛桃源潮剧团 performed 刘明珠三审玉芝兰 when she brought her students for an outing on opera performance.

I have been waiting for another opportunity to watch 老赛桃源潮剧团. I was so happy to learn that this troupe will be performing at 修德善堂 soon. Unfortunately, it coincides with my holdiay trip to USA. What a miss!.

广东潮剧院二团 再谈洗马桥

Guangdong Teochew Opera Troupe 2

Besides 王锐光, there are also many other actors and actresses from 广东潮剧院二团 who have contributed to the success of 洗马桥.

They include:

陈立君 who acted as 肖月英, the wife of 刘文龙. She waited for 刘文龙 for 16 years but there was no news about him She finally accepted her mother-in-law's suggestion to marry 刘文龙's cousin, 宋湘. However, 刘文龙 returned in time before the marriage took place.

黄丹娜 who acted as the princess, 阿娇公主. She was unable to win the love of 刘文龙 despite spending 16 years with him. One may wonder why a 16 years' relationship is nothing compared to a 3-day marriage.

谢继顺 who acted as 宋湘. He is 刘文龙's cousin. He took care of 刘文龙's mother and wife for 16 years. He bought them rice and gave them a lot of moral and financial support during 文龙's absence. He was overjoyed and shocked when his aunt suggested that he marry 月英.
