It is rare to find Cantonese opera performance in such a
modernized city, Hong Kong. Even Temple Street is
known for its well preserved traditional culture, Cantonese opera there is losing
their audience. Some amateur singers built up small performance booths to “practice”
singing. Young people are no longer interested in Cantonese opera. And old
people with shallow pockets are reluctant to pay. To keep the booths running,
their only option is to charge more and more money from fewer and fewer
audience. Even taking pictures or shooting videos of the performance are not free.
Can they survive this?
