Hi, all old mates of saints:
this is ho yocki lin saying hello to you all lah! ever since i was being introduced to the loop by peter lo, i've not been able to chat with you all (yet).... the reason.... well, it's work + work + work......anyway, i've promised peter that i'll send him and some others my involvement with this drama group when the show is ready. so, here you r...plse scroll down for details.
Some of you in kl may know of Dama Orchestra, a 20yrs+ group. used to be only known by the chinese community but today it's no stranger to the expats, the embassy, the hoteliers, the bankers and the non-chinese speaking crowd.
well, i'm doing a small part in this musical drama as the mother of ying-tai. some of u may be familiar with this story - butterfly lovers (or , liang-shan-bo and zhu-ying-tai in mandarin). it's about this girl, ying-tai disguised as a man (like Mu-Lan) as she aspired to go to school but women were not allowed so during that period. she has fallen in love with her classmate, shan-bo but her parents had engaged her to another rich family. she wont' buldged in and she joined shan-bo who had already passed away in misery and both of them transformed into butterflies and no one could ever stop them from being together forever....i would say it's a heart-felt love story with a touch of feminsim.
fyi, for those who know nothing of mandrain, do not worry, english and chinese sub-titles are projected.
hmm.. though the originality of the lyrics remain (in mandarin), the music has been rearranged by two sisters (both are PHD in music, n one is in UK and the other in KL n yet they have managed to give birth to such a wonderful piece) and now the music is so beautiful that you should not miss it......with touch of contemporary and old-styled. trust me, you sure like it. so, do not expect operaic-type of performance, cos' it's not.... also, fyi, i'm the only cast dont sing, ha2!! as they are all professional + amateurs singers but not me lah...
and.....you know what the costume designer is a french lady and our producer, kai loon speaks only english n no mandarin at all!! what a team!!
for those who do not know KLPac (or KL Performing Arts Centre):this cosy theatre hall is rather well-designed, even if you get the least expensive tickets sitting at the far end, you'll still guarantee good view of the whole stage.
so, peter, plse being your wife along. i'm very sure she'll like it. cheers..for those who are in kl, hope to see you there...
