Chinese opera is an art form combining music, singing, dancing, acting, martial art, body movement, and visual art. For over a thousand years, it has evolved, and been appropriated into various indigenous cultures. Today, Henan (literally meaning, ‘South of the Yellow River’) has become an important centre of Chinese Opera with its unique style and plays.
One of China's best performing troupes - the award winning Henan Opera House's Youth Group will perform three classic pieces based on Chinese literature and folklore with introductions from group representative.
中國戲曲結合音樂、歌唱、舞蹈、戲劇、武術、型體動作和視覺藝術，是一種獨特的表演藝術，千年來它已演變和發展成各式各樣。至今，河南戲曲以其鮮明的風格，已成為中國戲曲其中一個重要的中心。河南豫劇院青年團將於港大上演三套經典作品，並由專家講解豫劇的歷史和特色。
