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!.
