The article offers information about the Sunbeam Theatre in Hong Kong, China. The Sunbeam Theatre is the only remaining venue dedicated to hosting performances of Cantonese opera, an opera form originating in the 13th century. Cantonese opera is a unique mix of Cantonese language, 21st century Western elements such as the guitar, and slang, but the article urges travelers to experience the art form before dwindling attendance brings about theater closure.
