The Legend of the White Snake – Cantonese opera with Kun elegance 粵韻崑風白蛇傳

Crafted by reknown Prof. Yuen Siu-fai as Artistic Director, together with opera masters Mr. Lin Weilin and Ms. Ying Kam Sha as Directors for Special Scene, the Legend of the White Snake at the Xiqu Centre was a huge success. Having the Hon. Regina Ip, GBM, GBS, JP as our Guest of Honour, the venue housed an audience close to 1,000 and received overwhelming feedback from members and opera lovers alike. Bravo to all actors including the leads 王志良、梁心怡、陳紀婷 for their brilliant performance and Yolanda Ng for being our lively MC for the night.  

All proceedings from the exclusive event go to the HKWPEA Charitable Foundation to support worthwhile projects and initiatives for the development for local women and youth. The Fundraising Committee has worked tirelessly over many months to bring together this experience, thanks to Committee Chairpersons Marina Wong and Caroline Mak. Last but not the least, the performance would not have been possible without the generous donations and support from our sponsors, members and friends.

此劇講述千年白蛇精化為凡人白素貞與前生是桂枝羅漢的凡人許仙從邂逅、相愛、成親及至被法海和尚拆散的故事。法海教唆許仙在端午節讓素貞喝下雄黃酒，素貞因而現出巨蟒原形，許仙被嚇死。素貞冒死到仙山盗仙草挽回夫郎性命，然許仙回生後卻被法海軟禁，素貞遂與婢女青蛇小青水漫金山，聯同當地水族力戰法海及天兵天將，惜大敗。素貞最終被鎮壓在雷峰塔下，及至兒子仕林長大、高中狀元，到塔前祭母，素貞方得與親兒團聚。
