not veri sure about opera show... but getai got alot...

maybe u can go check it out at the Singapore Tourism Board website ??? :think:

:D :)
Hmm.. don't really like those getai.. very .. ...dont know what to say :bsmilie:
I wish to capture some of those old Opera show set-up.Thanks .
 

in the ghost's month, opera show is rare unless from those old traditional temple. most of them 'celebrates' with those 'brothers' with dinner and getai.

next month is the monkey god festival month...... will have lottsa opera shows.....but then think you need to ask permission to shoot.

i've shot one at the maxwell market carpark last year, on the last day of the 7th lunar month. maybe you can try your luck over there. there used to be opera shows in bedok as well (big open carpark opp long john and pizza hut). i wonder if there's going to be one. will check it out.

Thanks Kiwi for helping to check it out..
Capturing the motions and expression of these Opera Actors & Actress is very challenging.. :D A diminished arts and event in Singapore. :sweat:
Capture them before they are gone...
 

A bit out of the way, but on P.Ubin, there's a troupe that performs there regularly every month and almost every night during the 7th mth.

Do you read chinese newspaper? You can buy a copy of Lianhe Zao Bao, inside they will show all the various geitai performing at the various area.

If you looking for the traditional opera show, sometime they will show in the newspaper oso...saying which temple is having one. :bsmilie:

Just pass by Tanjong Katong complex at Geylang road. Was told that there will be Chinese wayang perfomance today and tomorrow - afternoon and evening. The stage is at the large carpark beside the complex.
