Cantonese Opera is the largest among traditional Chinese Opera genres in Guangdong and is sung and spoken in Cantonese. Theatrical contents are expressed through singing, speaking, acting, and martial arts. In 2009, it was inscribed onto the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Dr Lam Kar Sing, a Cantonese Opera grandmaster, formed his school of art, researching, practicing, performing, and transforming, drawing upon the best examples of different genres. He has had extensive influence on Cantonese Opera.
