Summary:Wing Chung Ng＇s long-awaited second monograph does not disappoint. Ng turns his scrupulous analytical and research skills to the unwieldy, transient world of stage perform, ers and the business of Cantonese opera as it evolved from the late nineteenth to the first half of the twentieth century.
