Imagine the community and its economy in BC that could maintain five live theatres to entertain fans of that traditional performance art. Opera troupes from South China had been crossing the Pacific to perform in North America before CPR was completed and before Canada became a country!PCHC-MoM Society is delighted to co-present "Multi Voices One Heart: Celebrating Canada 150 in Cantonese Opera", a trans-Pacific project involving Hong Kong, Vancouver and Toronto -- 3 cities linked by the rich history of Chinese migration to Canada and the resultant exchange of people and culture.
