Synopsis – This delightful curation of Chinese opera genres showcases the rich Chinese heritage in Singapore. Chinese opera was named a preserved art form by UNESCO in 2001. These opera performances (by both local and foreign troupes) in Singapore were photographed over a 12 year period. The camera follows the performances on the streets or at community halls, temples sites or concert halls. It reveals a vibrant yet a dying art.
Flying Sleeves, the Grandeur of Chinese Opera – documents this effervescent performance art through 200 pages, suffused with about 350 breath-taking images.
