Chinese Opera Exhibition: An Introduction & A Remembrance

With bold makeup, towering headpieces, grand robes and stories passed down through generations, traditional Chinese opera is a spectacle like no other – and now you can experience it up close.

At the Chinese Opera: An Introduction And Remembrance exhibition, now on at Galeri 1, Muzium Negara (National Museum) in Kuala Lumpur until Sept 8, culture lovers and curious visitors alike can take a journey through the rich history and cultural evolution of this traditional performing art in Malaysia.

This showcase is a collaboration between Muzium Negara and KL’s Pat Woh Association Malaysia, a cultural arts group dedicated to keeping the spirit of Cantonese opera alive.

Special public events are lined up too. On Aug 9, the Pat Woh Association Malaysia will host a Chinese opera makeup demo, music performance, and excerpts from three classic Cantonese plays.

On Aug 16, there’s a free “Children’s Cantonese Opera Workshop” to introduce young participants to the basics of the art form.

Chinese Opera: An Introduction And A Remembrance exhibition is showing at Muzium Negara, Kuala Lumpur until Sept 8. Free admission.
