I missed Cantonese opera so much. I've watched this since I was a toddler. When I was old enough to carry a stool (it's free if you bring your own chair), I went with my aunt and watched the show from 8pm till midnight during the Hungry Ghost Festival. I didn't understand 90% of what they were singing about but in a strange way, I did. I used to dress in my blanket and pretended to sing those aiiii-ya-ya notes. In high school, when I got to know my favourite actress was performing I befriended a younger actor and I got to watch from backstage. What a thrill. In a way, I'm so sad that my kids can't experience this simple pleasure. But I'm glad both of you did.
