A regional genre originating from Taiwan and flourished in Fujian, Hokkien Opera was once a popular opera form in Southeast Asia with a colourful history that was shaped by the local community.

In its short history of around 100 years, it moved from the stage to film studio and television screen.

This talk by Dr Chua Soo Pong, Director of Chinese Opera Institute, Singapore, will discuss the different phases of development of the genre in China, Taiwan and Singapore with a highlight on Ming Hwa Yuan Taiwanese Opera Troupe.

富有青春活力的歌仔戏 – 蔡曙鹏博士讲座

歌仔戏是唯一在海峡两岸共同孕育的剧种。在福建省，称为芗剧。在新加坡称为福建戏。在台湾，则称为歌仔戏，在东南亚多个地区，也是深受欢迎的剧种。在短短一百年左右，歌仔戏从落地扫而走上电视屏光幕，在近年更登大雅之堂发展成为精致剧种。

新加坡戏曲学院院长蔡曙鹏博士将综述海峡两岸与新加坡歌仔戏各有风采的艺术道路，他将以明华园在艺术创新方面取得的成就，来说明亚洲传统戏剧寻求突破的重要性与必要性。
