staged a few months of performances in Thailand. Then, one of my sister’s friends managed to get a set of video tapes of 五 龙 会 or later known as 五子挂帅. We were excited to watch the video although the quality was not very good. We waited patiently for her arrival as the market in Singapore is not big compared to Thailand.

Teochew Street Opera And Hungry Ghost Festival - 1

街戏与庆中元

During the lunar 7th month hungry ghost festival in the l970s, I would go out for wayang performance if there were opera troupes performing in the nearby blocks. How did i get to know the details? You wondered. During that time, the organisers would paste a red A1 size red flyer/poster stating the dates, the name of troupe and the location. We would definitely go out if the performances took place over the weekends. You could still find such A1 poster nowadays but is confined to areas in the market place.

There was a wet market located at Lorong 4 Toa Payoh between Block 92 and Block 95. It was a regular place for street opera. We went there very often as it was very near our flat. I remembered watching 刘璋下山 and 雷峰塔 (Madam White Snake) by 老正天香潮剧团.

For 刘璋下山, we waited patiently till close to 10 pm to see the actress who played the male lead 刘璋. My eldest sister was with us and she knew the plot very well. The first two hours featured how the Han Emperor struggled to retain power and how 刘璋 escaped from death when he was a small boy. Then 刘璋 grew up and was trained by his master to be a very skillful swordsman. Unfortunately, he was inexperienced and saved his enemies instead and later had to behead his father to gain trust from the Empress. 陈 楚 蕙 also performed the role as 刘璋 in the movie 刘璋下山 with 曾珊凤. These two photos of 陈楚蕙 were taken when she peformed in the then Palace cinema in Katong more than 2 decades ago. I heard she regretted having performed there because many fans did not find the location convenient and she must have reaped in the least profit for the time and effort put in.

Many opera troupes like 老玉春香潮剧团, 新一天彩潮剧团, 新荣和兴潮剧团 also performed at the market place at Lorong 4 Toa Payoh. When there were opera performances, the place was very packed and one could hardly move.

It was unbelievable to notice that his counter part, the female MC, could not even speak the Teochew dialect. She said fragmented words

Immediately after my last final year paper in 1987, I rushed to watch the Teochew opera performance by 陈楚蕙 at Kreta Ayer theatre. She made a return after she stopped performing in Singapore for many years. Normally, she would stage her performance in Thailand first as she had a lot of businesses and supporters in Thailand. In fact, five years ago, ie 1982, she staged a few months of performances in Thailand. Then, one of my sister’s friends managed to get a set of video tapes of 五 龙 会 or later known as 五子挂帅. We were excited to watch the video although the quality was not very good. We waited patiently for her arrival as the market in Singapore is not big compared to Thailand.

陈楚蕙 performed many popular shows in Thailand and they were available on video. Some of the shows were 红鬃烈马, 借剑, 碧海丹心, 孟丽君 and 红书宝剑. The following pages capture pictures of her performances in Thailand.

In 1987, I watched 薛丁山(Part 1 and 2), 红鬃烈马, 怒斩杨廷芳, etc. We loved 陈楚蕙 so much as her voice is unique. You cannot find this in any other artiste. She looks fantastic when dressed and dolled up. 陈楚蕙 is deeply loved by the audience not only because of her acting skills but also because she is humble and has excellent interpersonal skills.

The performance that year had been very successful. See a related Chinese article.
一九八七年，陈楚惠出人意外地亲率新天彩潮剧团，又一次来到新加坡。那时候，中国广东潮剧团已经前后来过三次，由中国输入本邦的录音、录相充斥市场，以香港潮剧团的水准，在本地还能卖座吗？谁都不敢有太大的信心，唯独可以略为壮胆的，只有"陈楚惠"三个字。出钱赞助主办的人，也都抱着亏本无所谓的心态，要给陈楚惠一个考验。为了减轻成本负担，部分乐员及配角都在新加坡临时聘用。陈楚惠在牛车水人民剧场演足了一个月，星期天还要加演日场，票房纪录却是有增无减。就在这个时候，由国这剧场主办的中国广东潮剧团第二团，也来到新加坡，由郑健英挂帅，在嘉龙剧场开锣上阵。好个陈楚惠，竟宣布展演十天，与广东潮剧团演对台戏，而在这最后十天中，仍然夜夜爆满。她在人民剧场院共四十天，演了四十四场戏，不论新剧目或旧剧目
