Chinese Opera

Some time ago I went to a Chinese opera in Bangkok. The shows are put on by a troupe of traveling performers on a makeshift stage, usually set up in a backstreet somewhere in the city.

They kindly let me backstage and I spent an hour or so snapping away while they got ready for the show.

As with the shots from my recent post on Myanmar, these where taken a couple of years ago and could be a lot better but they do have something about them.

I’d love to pay another visit to the opera next time they are in Bangkok.  You can see more images in the Thailand gallery.
