This exhibition catalogue traces more than one hundred years of
Cantonese opera in Edmonton within the changing dynamics of the
Chinese community. It tells a story of life experiences on the
Prairies by highlighting the inextricable relationship between
Cantonese opera and the Edmonton Chinese community as this cultural
practice moves deftly through historical periods between 1890 and
2009. This period has been selected to coincide with the arrival of
the first Chinese in Edmonton in 1890 and the inscription of
Cantonese opera onto the Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible
Heritage of Humanity list of the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in 2009. The text
brings to life many stories of the struggles and successes of the
Chinese in Edmonton, highlighting their resiliency and love of life
through the cultural practice of Cantonese opera.
