The Cultural Institute of the Macao S.A.R Government, in collaboration with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong S.A.R will organize the exhibition “Fong Yim Fun- The Life and Work of a Cantonese Opera Artiste”.
As a well-known actress and opera artiste in Canton, Hong Kong and Macao, Fong Yim Fun performed in more than 150 operas and films. During the 1940’s and 1950’s, her unrelenting presence on the stage and screen earned her the title of “Queen of Female Principals”.
During the meetings of the Greater Pearl River Delta Cultural Summit 2002, which recently took place, it was concluded that there was a need to reinforce the cultural and artistic cooperation within this region and to revitalize the tradition of Cantonese Opera. This exhibition represents these objectives with the aim of not only deepening the public’s knowledge but also recording the success of past artistes.
The exhibition will present relevant information on Fong Yim Fun, her role within this artistic genre and on screen, by way of photographs and other objects such as items from her wardrobe used in several performances, film brochures, programs and collection of librettos. Some of the items, which are of tremendous historical and artistic value, were donations made by Fong Yim Fun to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. A variety of short films featuring the artiste will be shown, and there will be an educational area, incorporated within the exhibition space aimed at introducing children to this artistic repertoire.
Seven films featuring Fong Yim Fun will be shown in the auditorium of the Museum throughout the period of the exhibition.
