This was our very first full-length Hokkien opera that we staged in 1992 at Victoria Theatre. We were then a very young troupe starting out from scratch and it was indeed heartwarming to see this show staged.
Many of us come and go all these years. The then Hokkien Konghuay Opera Troupe became the current Sim Siew Tin Hokkien Opera Troupe. What has not left us is our Passion and Determination to promote Hokkien opera.
A few of us, the ones who participated in the above performance were reminiscing about this show - 'The Tragedy Of the Zither and the Sword".
- It was our very First Full-length Opera staged
- We love the OS. (background singing)
- We really spent alot of time and effort rehearsing and practising.
- The director was fierce and demanding. (I guess he was quite stressed up as we were a bunch of very new performers with limited opera knowledge and skills.)
After so many years, watching the video clip really brings back so many wonderful memories!
If there is an opportunity, it would be nice to restage this show again!
