Chinatown: Hoisan Singer

Our new opera is a story of family and neighbourhood, racism and resistance, history and tomorrow. In two acts and two hours it examines six characters, two families, and a chorus of male ghosts, from the building of the CPR through to our own times. It deals with violence and despair, the Head Tax, the Exclusion Act, paper sons, and paper promise.

Chinatown by Yee Ho, Fri 16 Sep 2022, From (2022/2022), Directed by Rachel Peake, Desdemona Chiang,, Conductor Charles Barber, Mary Chun, Vancouver Playhouse, Vancouver, Canada
