As the chairperson of the Chinese Artist Association of Hong Kong
(CAAHK)), yesterday Liza Wang attended a press conference for the
Cantonese Opera Education Cooperative Plan
in Yau Ma Tei. Liza reveals CAAHK and Leisure and Cultural Services
Department (LCSD) partners in a three year plan, beginning from July
17th, to host 130 new talent performances at the Yau Ma Tei theatre.
This gives young people, wanting to learn Cantonese opera, opportunities
for practical experience. Also, there will be another 72 travel shows,
allowing both local and international audience to enjoy the show and
advocate for Cantonese opera at the same time. The Cantonese opera
development fund allocates HK$3.8 million annually, Mr. Lee Kui Ming,
contributes HK$1 million for costumes and ticket prices because the most
expensive ticket is only HK$100.
This year, it is Liza's 45th
anniversary in showbiz, she is already scheduled to hold a tribute
concert over the Christmas holidays. It is currently set for 10 shows,
and adding shows will depend on the ticket sales and her physical
condition. Liza reveals this time she'll be performing Broadway style, a
enormous production and invited Sunny Wong to lead the dance
rehearsals.
