As an intangible cultural heritage(非物质文化遗产), Cantonese Opera is a symbol of the shared culture for people in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. It carries history and stories of the region and becomes an important part of China’s cultural confidence(自信).

Cantonese Opera tells stories through singing, dancing and acting. For example, Madam White Snake—The Affection(《白蛇传·情》) is a famous show. Both young and old enjoy its beautiful music and exciting story. It takes an old myth and makes it new, mixing traditional beauty with modern ideas. It also shows the world the beauty of Chinese culture. Since 2014, it has been performed over 300 times, bringing people together and making more people love Cantonese Opera.
Cantonese Opera is special because it balances tradition and innovation(创新). It keeps classic singing and acting styles while using new stage technology and music. This helps young people enjoy it too.
