The Tenth Guangdong Provincial Art Festival

The triennial Guangdong Provincial Art Festival will welcome its tenth session starting on November 21st. This year forty troupes will present 38 performances, including regional opera, drama, puppet opera, ballet, folk music, musicals and symphonies.

The major event will use Guangzhou as its main venue and Dongguan as a sub-venue. In addition to troupes within the province, troupes from Hong Kong and Macau have also been invited to the festival.

The festival embraces nearly all regional opera styles in the province, some of which have been listed as "national intangible heritages", and are considered to be live visions into the past.

Two art exhibitions at the Guangdong Museum of Art will also be included in the festival.
