Cantonese Karaoke Opera Performance

Here the Friendly Cantonese Karaoke Opera group perform at the Louise MCC Mask Festival.  For many Australian born and people from other non-Asian cultures, this was their first experience of the Cantonese Opera singing style.  The stories are very similar to the tales we know and love in opera such as Don Giovanni, Rigoletto, La Traviata etc. and reminds us of tragedies such Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare. 


For Ivy and her team it was their first performance for the Louise MCC and very much enjoyed by everyone.  We look forward to many more performances in the future.
