This reporting performance not only showcased the unique charm of Lingnan’s unique music genres - the three major singing categories of Cantonese Opera: Dahou, Pinghou and Zihou. It also carefully organized the performance of North-South storytelling and North-South cross talk on the same stage, and also introduced the local dialects of Guangdong. Nursery rhymes and folk songs are presented wonderfully. (over)
