Teochew opera is a traditional Chinese performing art that originated from the Teochew region in southeastern China. It combines music, singing, acting, and martial arts, often featuring stories based on historical events, folklore, and mythology. The performances are characterized by their unique melodies and elaborate costumes, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Teochew people. The opera is typically performed in the Teochew dialect, making it distinct from other Chinese operas like Peking opera. It has a dedicated following, especially among the Teochew diaspora in countries like Thailand and Singapore, where it continues to be celebrated and preserved through festivals and community events.
