Xiqu Centre Teahouse Theatre Education Special Session
The Chinese language, Chinese history, and music departments collaborated to participate in the “Xiqu Centre Teahouse Theatre Education Special Session: School-Based Creative Curriculum Development Project.” Through interdisciplinary teaching design, students not only learned about their subjects but also deepened their appreciation of Cantonese opera. This initiative aims to preserve the outstanding Chinese culture and enhance students’ understanding of the value education theme for this academic year, “Breaking Ground, Blooming Bright”. It fosters the core qualities of intelligence, courage, diligence, and perseverance and encourages students to be innovative. On 29 January, all S2 students visited the Xiqu Centre to enjoy traditional Chinese opera performances, including classic Cantonese opera excerpts, ancient tunes, and Guangdong music performances. The program also included interactive discussions and live explanations that were easy to understand, allowing students to better appreciate the artistic characteristics and value of Cantonese opera.
