Cantonese opera was inscribed onto the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009 and its early development is closely related to Hong Kong. The TWGHs archives shed light on Cantonese opera performances in Hong Kong during the 19th century, offering information on their peroforming venues, the names of the opera troupes as well as their contribution to charitable causes. Utilising the archives of Tung Wah and other historical materials, the speaker will explore the transformation of Cantonese opera from rural festive entertainment to an urban theatrical performance, and how Cantonese opera singers have progressively gained social recognition. |

TWGHs Man Mo Temple, located on Hollywood Road in Sheung Wan, was built in 1847. It was named after the deities revered in the temple – Man Cheong, the God of Literature, and Kwan Tai, the Martial God. A building cluster of immense historical and cultural significance, the temple was declared a monument by the Hong Kong government in November 2010. The Man Mo Temple Autumn Sacrificial Rites, an intangible cultural heritage item of Hong Kong, has been held annually since 1957. Upholding Chinese cultural traditions, the officiating guests and directors of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals perform the Sanxian Ritual (Three Presentation Ritual) in traditional black ceremonial robes. |
