講座摘要 Abstract of Webinar:

本網上座談會從兩個有關早期香港粵劇與音樂的個案談起，分別探討粵劇市場的興起及「國樂」和「粵樂」在二十世紀上半葉的定義與定位，並進一步論述相關研究的近期發展，再連繫到香港粵劇與流行音樂的微妙關係。

This webinar begins with two case studies related to Cantonese opera and music in modern history of Hong Kong, exploring the rise of a Cantonese opera market in Hong Kong and the definition/orientation of “national music” and “Cantonese music” in the first half of the 20th century. The recent development of Hong Kong Cantonese opera studies is then examined, followed by a discussion of the intricate relationship between Cantonese opera and popular music in Hong Kong.
