More than 30 members of the Chinatown’s Red Bean Cantonese Opera House came home safely last week after attending the 5th International Cantonese Opera Festival in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, which is formerly known as Canton. 

Four Red Bean members staged performances during the festival and received very positive reviews from their counterparts from around the world and from the local audience.
