Our Vision
Be Singapore’s leading Chinese opera troupe, preserving, innovating, and promoting Yue Opera while inspiring future generations and sharing its beauty globally.
Mission
To preserve and promote Yue Opera through high-quality performances, education, and cultural exchanges while innovating and expanding its reach to modern audiences and global communities.
Sam Kiang Chinese Opera Troupe, affiliated with the Sam Kiang Huay Kwan, was established in 2016 with a mission to preserve and promote Yue Opera (越剧) performing arts in Singapore. The troupe holds the esteemed position of Overseas Executive Director of the Global Yue Opera Fans Carnival and serves as the Singapore Representative of the Chinese Yue Opera Friendship Association. It has also invited renowned artists, including Plum Blossom Award winner Ms. Li Min and Singaporean opera director Ms. Zhang Li, as its artistic advisors.
Each year, the troupe organizes large-scale performances, art lectures, and professional training programs to nurture a new generation of opera talents. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it launched the “Yue Opera Genre Art Showcase” series, now a signature biennial event. This platform enables members, particularly emerging talents, to refine and present their stage performance skills and vocal techniques across different Yue Opera genres.
Over the past nine years, the troupe has earned widespread recognition for its dedication and excellence. Its members have been honoured with the Orchid Outstanding Performer Award by the Singapore COI and the highest Orchid Award from global Yue Opera fans in China. In 2023, the troupe staged a full-length production of “New Year Blessing”, which drew a delegation from “Yue Opera Home” in China to witness its overseas premiere in Singapore. That same year, the Shaoxing Performing Arts Group organized a cultural delegation comprising experts and Plum Blossom Award-winning Yue Opera artists to visit the Sam Kiang Chinese Opera Troupe. This international exchange aimed to foster new Sino-Singaporean collaborations in Chinese opera, exploring innovative pathways for the global development of traditional performing arts.
As a leading force in Yue Opera in Singapore, the troupe continues to cultivate young talents, attract new enthusiasts, and strengthen cultural ties within the global Chinese opera community.
The troupe has received strong support from the Sam Kiang Huay Kwan and the NAC of Singapore. In recent years, the troupe has achieved outstanding results, establishing a solid reputation in the opera community and attracting many young talents and professionals to join.
Looking ahead, the troupe will continue to uphold its rigorous training system and refined artistic style, remaining deeply rooted in Singapore while embracing a global vision. The troupe is committed to showcasing the brilliance of Yue Opera on the international stage, allowing this traditional art form to Singapore to worldwide.
