Vintage Opera Song book
Here are some of my grandmother's collection of old opera song book from the 70s. All of these books were very well kept by her even thou it has passed 40 years old.
Recalling back from mum's childhood memories, she remembered that these opera song books were normally given at the entrance of the opera theater. She also remember that the pages of the books were being used by the kids to be folded into paper planes or origami when they get bored during the opera show.
These books contain the lyrics and the script of the opera songs.
At the front and back page of the booklet, you can see the performer's name on it. For those older kids who were born before the 90s, do ever remember joining your parents for open air opera show and getting bored after awhile? Too bad, I didn't have any experience joining my parents for opera show that were performed live on the open air stage. In fact, I do watch a bit of old Chinese Opera on YouTube just to get some add on knowledge regarding Chinese opera.
