See the young talents of Nam Hwa Opera show off their skills in this showcase! An excerpt from the popular story Chen San & Wu-niang, Admiring Lanterns tells the story of how the two lovers met each other. Chen-San attended the Yuan-xiao lantern festival at Chaozhou and met Wu-niang by coincidence. Love blossomed between the two. Wu-niang subsequently met the wealthy Lin Da. She disliked his uncouth, frivolous personality. However, Lin Da was enchanted by the beauty of Wu-niang and conspired with Zhuo Er to marry her.
Mask-wearing is optional. However, audiences are encouraged to continue to exercise responsibility and caution, such as wearing masks when in crowded places.
Nam Hwa Opera
Founded in 1963 by avid fans of Teochew Opera, Nam Hwa Opera (NHO) has grown into one of Singapore’s most prominent and prolific Teochew opera companies, with a mission to preserve, develop and promote traditional Teochew opera as part of Singapore’s rich heritage.
In 2020, NHO was conferred the inaugural The Stewards of Intangible Cultural Heritage Award by the National Heritage Board. In 2022, Guangdong Chao Opera Theatre from China invited NHO to jointly establish the Guangdong Chao Opera Institute Singapore Teochew Opera Heritage Centre.
NHO is also home to the Nam Hwa Teochew Music Ensemble and the Yeo Khee Lim Teochew Culture Research Centre.
