When one wanders chinatown at night, especially during New Year, one would hear first and, following the sound threw a maze of dark narrow streets, end up in a floodlit street corner where a company of chinese opera artists perform on a pop up stage. The audience is sparse, but it doesn’t matter because the artists essentially perform for the gods.
