The image shows a sign with text about the history of Chinese opera in Singapore. The sign is mounted on a red wall. It is located in the city of Singapore, Singapore, at latitude 1.282 and longitude 103.844. The text reads: "Chinese Opera is a traditional art form that has been performed in Singapore since the 19th century. The art form reached our shores with the arrival of Chinese migrants from different areas of southern China. Different dialect groups brought their distinctive styles of Chinese Opera which laid down their roots in Singapore." The sign also explains that in its early years, performances were often set up along the streets during celebrations and festivals. From the early 1900s, performances grew to be staged in theatres such as Kreta Ayer People's Theatre, Lai Chun Yuan and Yi Yuan, and amusement parks like New World, Great World and Gay World. Audiences who watched Chinese opera could expect action-packed performances staged with songs, elaborate costumes and stylised actions.
