Come check out “Celebrating Cantonese Opera”, a dynamic display created by Asian Library. As part of the UBC Centennial Program, the display honours Master Toa Wong, who helped build and document the collection of Cantonese Opera costumes in UBC’s Museum of Anthropology. You can visit the display, which is in the foyer of the Asian Centre, until the end of August.
Master Wong has also donated 586 Cantonese opera recordings to the Asian Library. These recordings are mainly on cassette tapes which represent the bulk of his teaching materials as well as his private collections assembled since his days as a musician with Jin Wah Sing Musical Association.
