Nick - Teochew Opera
Nick 沈炜竣 performs regularly at Swatow Seafood Restaurant at Toa Payoh. As the Restaurant had installed a small bubble lift for elderly people who have difficulties climbing the flight of stairs, we decided to bring our mother for dinner and booked a table for 10 for dinner on 7 Dec 2012.
When we arrived at the restaurant, it was still quite early. The artistes and Nick were preparing for their performance. When Nick saw me, he greeted me and mother was surprised that I knew Nick.
Later, Nick came to have a chat with my wife and me. After that, he went to paint his face for the first item. This evening, he paired up with a local Teochew Opera troupe, 新怡梨兴潮剧团. They put up three short play, not exactly excerpts as they were really short.
The first item was 薛丁山. Nick appeared and performed for a short while and later came down from the stage to meet all the guests. We took the opportunity to have a photo shoot with him. It was indeed a memorable moment and exciting experience.
We understand that the Teochew Opera performance is a regular item every Wednesday and Friday. Nick may not perform on some days.
