The exhibition showcases a collection of rare and exquisite Cantonese opera costumes, including key pieces worn by the legendary \u201cQueen of\u00a0<em>Huadan<\/em>\u201d,\u00a0<strong>Dr Fong Yim-fun<\/strong>; the late renowned artist\u00a0<strong>Dr Lam Kar-sing<\/strong>; and the late \u201cArtistic\u00a0<em>Huadan<\/em>\u00a0Queen\u201d,\u00a0<strong>Ms Chan Ho-kau<\/strong>. Members of the public are invited to view the craftsmanship and design of these classic costumes up close, with the aim of fostering interest in Cantonese opera culture and passing on this intangible cultural heritage.<\/h5><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5><strong>Exhibition Details<\/strong><\/h5><h5><strong>Date:\u00a0<\/strong>From 3 February 2026 to 30 June 2026<\/h5><h5><strong>Time:<\/strong><\/h5><ul><li><h5>Monday to Friday: 10:00 am \u2013 5:00 pm<\/h5><\/li><li><h5>Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays: 2:00 \u2013 6:00 pm<\/h5><\/li><\/ul><h5><strong>Venue:<\/strong>\u00a0Ho Sik Yee Library, 5\/F, HKMU Jockey Club Campus, 81 Chung Hau Street, Ho Man Tin, Kowloon<\/h5><h5><strong>Admission:<\/strong>\u00a0Free<\/h5><h5><strong>Registration:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4agdpOL\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/4agdpOL<\/a><\/h5><h5>\u00a0<\/h5><h5>The exhibition is organised by the Ina Ho Cantonese Opera Research Centre (IHCORC), the HKMU Library, and the Tin Ka Ping Centre of Chinese Culture, and co-organised by the Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong (CAAHK), the Hong Kong Cantonese Opera Troupe (HKCOT), and the Fong Yim Fun Art Sustainability Project of Shaw College, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.<\/h5><h5>The opening ceremony was held on 2 February. Officiating guests included\u00a0<strong>Mr Loong Koon-tin<\/strong>, Chairman of the CAAHK;\u00a0<strong>Mr Leonard Wong Shing-chuen<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of the HKCOT and Honorary Advisor of the IHCORC;\u00a0<strong>Prof. Andrew Chan Chi-fai<\/strong>, Convener of the Advisory Committee of the Fong Yim Fun Art Sustainability Project;\u00a0<strong>Ms Yam Dan-fung<\/strong>, Cantonese opera artist; and\u00a0<strong>Prof. Paul Lam Kwan-sing<\/strong>, HKMU President.<\/h5><h5>The exhibition highlights two precious \u201cWomen&#8217;s Python Ceremonial Robes\u201d. The first was worn by the celebrated Dr Fong Yim-fun during a charity performance of the opera excerpt\u00a0<em>The Red Ribbon Bouquet Romance<\/em>\uff08\u300a\u7d05\u7dbe\u914d\u300b\uff09for the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine in 1994, where she performed alongside\u00a0<strong>Dr Maria Lee Tseng Chiu-kwan<\/strong>. The other standout piece is a python robe with orange-gold sequins on a pinkish-purple base. This exquisitely crafted costume was worn by the late Ms Chan Ho-kau during her stage performances in the 1960s and 1970s.<\/h5><h5>Another highlight is the orange \u201cRound Collar\u201d robe, featuring a crane rank badge embroidered in golden threads. This costume was worn by Dr Lam during his 1987 performance of\u00a0<em>A Love Affair Rekindled Amidst The Smoke and Rain<\/em>\uff08\u300a\u7159\u96e8\u91cd\u6eab\u9a5b\u9928\u60c5\u300b\uff09. Meticulously hand-stitched using traditional \u201cgold-nailing embroidery\u201d techniques, the robe is a magnificent and dazzling display of craftsmanship. Known as a modified version of an \u201cOfficial Robe\u201d, this style was reserved for high-ranking civil and military officials and is distinguished from standard plain official robes by the intricate patterns embroidered on its lower hem.<\/h5><h5>Also on display is an orange\u00a0<em>Gu<\/em>-embroidered \u201cGrand Armour\u201d loaned by Mr Loong Koon-tin. This traditional battle robe, typically worn by generals and marshals, was worn by Mr Loong in numerous productions, including\u00a0<em>The Ten-year Dream<\/em>\uff08\u300a\u968b\u5bae\u5341\u8f09\u83f1\u82b1\u5922\u300b\uff09. The imposing costume features a complex structure with four flags inserted at the back and is showcased alongside its matching headdress.<\/h5><h5>The exhibition also features a \u201cCostume for Ladies\u201d (worn by unmarried female characters), designed by renowned artist\u00a0<strong>Ms Leung Siu-sum<\/strong>. Ms Leung created this costume to complement the narrative when she co-starred with\u00a0<strong>Mr Law Kar-ying<\/strong>\u00a0in the 1980s production\u00a0<em>The Magic Shoe&#8217;s Destiny: A Tale of Startling Love<\/em>\uff08\u300a\u4ed9\u5c65\u5947\u7de3\u4e00\u7dda\u727d\u4e4b\u9a5a\u60c5\u300b\uff09. It features a red large-sleeved outer robe adorned with peacock feathers.<\/h5><h5>There are two sets of costumes on display from the Hong Kong Cantonese Opera Troupe&#8217;s 2024 production\u00a0<em>The Butterfly and the Red Pear Blossom<\/em>\uff08\u300a\u8776\u5f71\u7d05\u68a8\u8a18\u300b\uff09. They demonstrate a graceful, refined and gentle aesthetic that contrasts sharply with the martial costumes. The exhibition also showcases musical instruments belonging to renowned Cantonese opera musicians, as well as Cantonese opera clay print librettos.<\/h5><h5>To ensure optimal presentation and proper preservation of these valuable artefacts, particularly the sequined pieces, which require highly specific environmental conditions, HKMU employs professional display cases with strict controls on temperature, humidity and lighting.<\/h5><h5>HKMU is committed to the research, promotion and preservation of Cantonese opera and maintains close collaboration with the HKCOT. In 2024, the University signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the CAAHK. To complement the exhibition, the University will organise a series of related workshops to deepen the public&#8217;s understanding of Cantonese opera and foster cultural inheritance.<\/h5><h5><strong>Press Release:<\/strong>\u00a0<a
