This culturally enriching tour begins at a quaint little shop that stocks props and costumes used in Chinese opera. A visit to a clan association follows, where the unique visual art is still practiced. Every movement and gesture used on stage is explained in detail. Next, you will be taken to Clarke Quay to witness behind-the-scenes preparations for an opera. Discover how the types of costumes and styles of face-painting signify the actors' characteristics and roles. The tour then culminates in the opera itself-a mesmerizing performance you will now be able to appreciate.
