Chinese Opera Wayang Musicians – Trio (SH046)

Miniature Chinese Opera Musicians Figurines

This trio of miniature Chinese Opera Musicians consists of three men playing the Er Hu (二胡), Suo-Na (嗩吶) and Yang Qin (揚琴).

Our complete Chinese Opera set of figurines depict a Cantonese Opera called “The Great Seal of the Six Kingdoms” (六国大封相). This Opera is set during the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.). It tells the story of how the renowned politician, Su Qin, lobbied the six states to adopt the Vertical Alliance strategy and unite against the State of Qin. This Opera is popular during Chinese holidays such as the Spring Festival. In accordance with the season, the costumes are colourful and elaborate.

A full-scale Opera stage, complete with colourful backdrops and backstage performers, is also available (sold separately). It is the perfect setting to display these characters in, and a must-have to complete your collection.

About Chinese Opera

Chinese Opera, or Chinese ‘wayang’, is a form of theatrical performance. Chinese immigrants first introduced them in Singapore during the late 19th century. In the old days, it was performed for both entertainment and at religious festivals to honour deities. Percussion instruments serve as the play’s primary music, and the performance style involves high-pitched singing and a formal way of speaking.
