About this event

The Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong has been appointed as the venue partner for the Yau Ma Tei Theatre Venue Partnership Scheme for the fifth time. This year marks a significant revitalization as the initiative is officially renamed "Elite Young Talents Cantonese Opera Legacy Program." Renowned Cantonese opera artists Ms. Wong Chiu-kwan, Mr. Leung Siu-ming, Ms. Chan Wing-yee, Mr. Roger Chan, Mr. Sun Kim-long, and Mr. Loong Koon-tin serve as Artistic Directors, shoulder the mission of training exceptional young performers. Building upon 14 years of performance and training experience, the program focuses on nurturing over 40 elite young talents. Through comprehensive training—including direct mentorship from the Artistic Directors, full-length opera performances, and Young Talent Showcases—the program aims to foster the growth of rising stars. It seeks to demonstrate the prowess of Hong Kong's young Cantonese opera performers to the audience while promoting and preserving this local intangible cultural heritage. As the program undergoes this exciting transformation, it is expected to organize 66 Cantonese opera performances and activities in the coming year, showcasing the splendor and cultural essence of Cantonese opera.
