This is my first time to be the screenwriter and music design of this short musical drama inspired by the elements of Cantonese opera and drama. I would like to introduce and promote Cantonese opera by this lively performance format, which at the same time help preserving and developing this valuable local art.

樂曲介紹

小弟首次以編劇和音樂設計的身份創作了這音樂短劇，並引入了粵劇和話劇元素作音樂及動作情節。我希望透過生動的表演形式，向大眾介紹什麼是粵劇，並作粵劇的推廣，更令粵劇這極具本土特色的藝術得到保留及加以發展。
