Member Since: 2006
Pinky has enjoyed Cantonese opera with her family since her childhood. Leaving Hong Kong, China at nine years old, she has a deep interest in her Chinese heritage and cultural. She feels that Cantonese opera is an important part of Chinese cultural, using this beautiful art form as a venue to relate Chinese history, folklores, poetries and classical literatures. She hopes to help promote this beautiful ancient Chinese art and culture. In recent years, she was fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue her interest in Cantonese opera and studied with excellent teachers: Master Jing Liang, Master Ben Chen, actors Feng Huang and Paul Ho, actresses Yan Huang and Sabrina Wong. In 2004, Pinky made her Cantonese Opera debut in a starring role as Xi Shi in the opera vignette “Dream at Tai Lake”. She joined the Red Bean Cantonese Opera House in 2006. She has performed in the opera vignettes “Prime Minister”, “Dream of Everlasting Love”, “The Twelve Beauties”, as Imperial Concubine Muy Fei in “The Competing Concubines” and as Peach Blossom in “Romancing Peach Blossom”. She has also performed several Cantonese Opera duets, including “Overcoming Three Hurdles”, “Peach Blossom Encounter” and “Farewell Wang Zhaojun”. She enjoys all aspects of this beautiful performing art and the challenge of each role.
