Birth Date 1933-01-20 Birthplace Canada Death Date 2015-08-04 Occupation Chinese Opera Actor Biographical Text Dr. Lam Kar Sing is a preeminent figure in Cantonese Opera in Hong Kong. Born in 1933, he became a disciple of the maestro Sit Kok Sin in 1949 and, inspired by Sit’s artistic influence, he committed himself to a lifelong and tireless pursuit of excellence. Lam quickly became a versatile exponent of his mentor’s art and, developing as a maestro in his own right, he went on to establish the theory that a performing artist must seek to fulfil four criteria – 'breadth, virtuosity, depth and innovation’. He also founded two Cantonese opera troupes, Hing Sun Sing and Chung Sun Sing, both of which won a wide following with their popular productions. Lam eventually retired from the stage in 1993, and since then he has dedicated himself to promoting this art form and to ensuring its continued survival and development. He has won many accolades and awards from the government, the education sector and the field of traditional Chinese theatre in recognition of his lifelong achievements and his lasting contribution to Cantonese Opera. Taking a look back at the life and artistic career of Lam Kar Sing and highlighting the legacy he has bequeathed, this exhibition showcases libretti, handbills, stills, records, costumes and audio and video clips from various productions starring this virtuoso with a passion for Cantonese Opera.
