Opera talk

there is a seminar in national museum (NSM).

actually i dont really like to attend talks as i know i will sleep. But from the list of speakers, i very keen to listen from the speaker from tw.

Arrived at Singapore Arts Museum at 8.45am. Then i realise that i went to the wrong museum. hahaa... anyway, the distant only 2 road down the road, so walk there lor.

opening speech began with assistant director of NSM, COI Chairman and Dr Chua. He's reading compo... So loso...

the first half of the talk had 2 Chinese speakers. They started describing their opera shows, describing what the show abt, etc and drag time. If U attend talk, would u bother that the show is abt if u never heard before? At most, u take note of the show and go home check mah... In the end, they overrun...

CBX also talk abt Creating New Opera and Innovative Interpretation of Classics as a Strategy to Recruit New Audience but her talk is more of ... "What is the objective of coi"

Of all the 1st half speakers, only tw speaker caught most of our attention. Maybe its because its related to gzx. But her powerpoint got pic of tw opera and she explained the 'orgin' of 'operah'.

At the end of second presentation, the host requested the audience to post some question. A 70+ old man started to talk abt gzx in sg. But the host keep stopping him. Its so annoying. Every1 listen til lu shen and he keep interrupting...

Most of us left after lunch. I knew i missed the performance section at the end of the show. Actually i wanted to go back abt 2.30pm but my legs are lazy. hehee

Anyway, i felt that the host invited the wrong guest of honor.
Heloo... U holding a talk in sg, shouldnt u invited a Minister/ MOS/ managing director of MICA. I meant, since its such a meaningful talk and might create better awareness of chinese opera and its hold in sg. Ask a researcher from China Ambassy for wat.
