For a lot of singing and sleeve work go here.
And see images of Cantonese opera here.
Find out something of the history. Research what you can. There's more here, with references to the acrobatic styles.
What instruments are used to accompany the singers?
Do you feel it's necessary to speak Cantonese to enjoy it?
Oh why don't we go and listen to some opera live. (Yes, why don't we do that, I ask myself.)
While I puzzle on that question, listen out for any Cantonese opera on radios as you move around the island. Who's listening to this musical style?
