A Taiwanese Opera Online Clip

Found this clip online, starring Wang Lan Hua, a Taiwanese Opera veteran.

Am I right to say that this show was staged in Singapore recently?

Heard that it had been full-house for 4 days. ^^

A Xiangju Video Online

XJ, did you buy this title the other time you went to ZZ?

Xiangju Tunes

Any Khers has this book?

I have another book about the same title but the cover isn't the same.

Are the two books identical?

西楼错梦

I'm hoping to get this DVD.

But the price of this DVD is simply too steep.

It costs about SG300, more costly than my Takarazuka DVDs.

So I shall "dream" tonight...... (LOL)

Money doesn't just drop from the sky...Maybe in my dream, it will. (LOL)

陈娜君《周末聊天室》专访

An interview with Chen Na Jun.

She used to be a Wu Dan but converted to a sheng.

She was also converted from a Fan-style to a Xu-style.

She was a classmate of Wang Zhiping. Wang came from Zhoushan Yueju Troupe, the same existing troupe that Chen is now in.

Chen mentioned that Wang is her best stage partner even though Wang has gone to Shanghai in the 80s.

Chen is the sheng who plays opposite Wang in this "The Legend of Chunxiang"

War

Just saw XJ's blog......

War is brewing at KH. (LOL)

The very obvious one is a COLD WAR between the TOP and Me. (LOL)

We just basically ignored each other's existence and we don't talk unless when it comes to official matters. (LOL)

TOP snarled at XJ today during rehearsal. She remarked that she disliked "Hao Lian" (Cocky) people.

XJ was stretching her legs behind the wooden prop.

Somehow I feel that TOP's remark was indirectly hurled at me. I think I must have hurt her ego when I did the one-legged spilt last week.

Good to see her improving. Hope that she will do a nice one-legged spilt during her 1000 miles show. I believe she will do KH proud. (LOLOLOLOL)

Anyway, which one is more important?

A 3-min one-legged split or a 2-hour show of singing? (LOL)

YN As Butler Diao

One shocking news is that YN has to take up WMY's Butler Diao.

YN is given no choice because WMY has declined to play the role as she has not finished her studies yet.

Furthermore, almost all elgible actors have been down with other roles already.

Butler Diao is a very heavy role and is a difficult role for a xiao dan to act. YN will have difficulties to act such a role.

To be frank, I can't picture YN as Butler Diao. It sures tarnish a dan's image. However YN has no other choice but to take up the role as no one else is available to take such a role.

If no one plays Butler Diao, the whole show may have to shelf into the closet. (Sighz)

WMY...... Guess by the time u come back, you are probably down for 5D and Fish......

My shows usually need many people......If one or two are not able to act, the shows may have to put on hold. (Sighz)
