Cantonese Opera is one of the major Chinese opera (Xiqu) categories. It is a traditional art form which was included in the first list of 518 state-level intangible cultural heritage elements. Despite the cultural differences, Cantonese opera actually shares a lot of similarities with Orff Schulwerk, which is why we find it fascinating! Like Orff Schulwerk, Cantonese Opera includes music, singing, speech, dancing; uses lots of percussion instruments, does a lot of improvisation etc.
