From November 29th to December 1st, the 21st Guangzhou-Hong Kong-Macao Cantonese Opera Day took place at the Cantonese Opera Art Museum, bringing together distinguished artists from the three cities. During the opening ceremony, the artists performed classic songs and new plays, including excerpts from Ou Kaiming's "Searching the Academy" and the premiere of "Lovers by the Five Lakes" performed by Zeng Hui and Sima Xiang.

Ou Kaiming emphasized that learning Cantonese opera will benefit children throughout their lives, helping them cultivate self-discipline and a sense of family responsibility, encouraging them to promote excellent traditional culture. Lin Yingshi, an actress who developed her career from Liwan District, Guangzhou, to Hong Kong, actively promotes Cantonese opera and collaborates with contemporary music artists to pave new paths for innovation. She remarked on her journey from a child star to a full-time performer, building on her connection with the Cantonese Opera Day events.

During the performances, Ou Kaiming, Zeng Hui, and Liu Huiming shared their artistic insights, highlighting the cultural bonds within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Zeng Hui mentioned her efforts in Macao to teach Cantonese opera, where she nurtures young talents to achieve success and promotes Mandarin while correcting their Cantonese pronunciation.

"Cantonese opera is performed every day in Hong Kong, with actors and actresses showcasing their talents regularly," Liu Huiming noted, expressing hope for deeper cultural cooperation within the Greater Bay Area to enhance communication in content creation, production, and promotion of Cantonese opera. This event showcased both the inheritance and innovation of Cantonese opera, as well as the close cultural ties within the GBA.
