good comparison, i have been thinking about whom he sounds like (it does not matter, everyone is unique - just curious); his 倒板 is good, stable , to point/note. He is one of the few male artists these days can sing with 粤曲韻味,拉腔轉腔,準而有韻,不单是練出來,很大部分是观摩前輩和吸引,很難得這樣集大成,,這広.好!

I agree. When he was three years old, he was taught by his grandfather how to sing Cantonese Opera.@@andrewtam3185
from 編劇 perspective: 戲劇若要發展和長青, 其主題必須與時並進, agreed; we chatted before: not those unbelievable stories/ plots or those only dedicated to help certain artists to demonstrate his skills and talents (thus restricting plot/story development) for various purposes - i don't want to mention names again

Cantonese Opera are mostly old plots from Court, love stories, fairy tales etc. We have been accepting their tends of development years ago. The renowned 唐 script writer tailored all his stories based on the players character to develop his plot on scripts. We have been watching his scripts in areas where people are interested in Cantonese Opera all over the world. Can we change the audience towatch newly written scripts? China has been working hard to modernize the scripts , is it successful ? Did you watch 廣東省或深圳團?It is good comparison and knowledgeable! As for HK, 謝 小姐 has tried to write scripts and brought in new ideas for Cantonese Opera. Has it been recognized ? Just noticed she played in 唐 scripts also !

I think I understand where you are coming from. My response is: (a) yes, too some extent, people are familiarized with those themes/plots, and to a great extent socialised into it meaning believing 粵劇 is like that, must be based on /include as a key theme love stories etc (i am not talking about some worship certain artists, another issue). (b) but from a higher level perspective, this is more a generational issue. I am in my 60s, those preferences belong to my parents' and grandparents' generations, I am already different and i believe the world keeps changing. Basically, there should not be a fixed genre/format for粵劇 stories/plots in that direction. Right now, it is still heavily influenced by tradition - but generational changes have been happening, slowly though. Once my generation or older generations are gone, i dont expect that tradition will carry much weight BECAUSE there is no more socialization, teaching people to accept that tradition. (c) modernize the scripts , 廣東省或深圳團?In HK, may not be successful and you, me and others may not like it (preferences only) but those plays are welcome and well-attended (I dont want to judge on quality and taste of audience - all very subjective). At least they tried including modern 粵劇; (d) also, since 1970s, 粵劇 are not totally based on/focused on Court, love stories, fairy tales; look at Lam Kar sing's; many historical, not courtly, stories stressing heroism, humanity etc. (e) , 謝 小姐 has tried to write scripts and brought in new ideas for Cantonese Opera. who knows what holds for the future? I am no prophet. I am not trying to argue but my point is progress, development and ever-green is essentially organic - part of growth, inevitable and should be encouraged and facilitated 發展和長青, if we want a future for 粵劇, not to be fixated on our preferences, tradition. Look, 1930s and 40s 粵劇 were kind of different from 1950s and 1960s (i am not saying good or bad, but there had been changes, but not major ones I have to admit.

also, FYI - i do have some understanding of this sector: i have gone through some but short term personal/private 粵曲program; my father befriended some older 粵劇 artists/performers in 1950s, so got some insights into this field ,@@annieu30

Yes, we can change the audience to watch newly written scripts, but the main point is, can we write a new script to reflect the Zeitgeist? I don't think the troupes from Canton are successful, because they have thought limitations. 謝小姐, I don't want to comment on her.@@annieu30

I watched 大龍鳳with my mom, where I came from. I am staying in N. America. Watched a lot of HK and China Cantonese Opera in recent years. Conclusively speaking, audience, even in China are in favor of 帝女花,鳯閣, even overseas. Not 林? 林is too one man show ! Dominated character lacks group operation etc. We are just talking casually , not commenting as we are just audience. Watched Cantonese Opera, especially in China , you can have a glimpse what the trend of change is operation. HK did not do much in this respect. Care has to be taken for the ticket sale to cover the expensive costs of a troupe ! HK has to avoid 武埸,文武生aging , 一字馬都唔掂!水髮? And yet they like to perform their weakness all the time !
