帝女花65周年跨界與延伸項目 Floral Princess 65 Transdisciplinary and Extended Events
無論是否粵劇迷，不少香港人總曉得唱 一兩句「落花滿天蔽月光」；即或未能體 會「江山悲災刧」的亡國恨，大概也略知 長平公主與周世顯淒美哀怨的愛情故事。《帝女花》彷彿就代表了粵劇，又或者是一般人的粵劇初體驗。
趁著帝女花65周年，為了讓大家從不同 角度接觸及認識這齣粵劇瑰寶，除了舞 台演出，重塑經典，紀念致敬之餘，桃花 源粵劇工作舍更會與不同單位合作，舉 辦多個跨界及延伸項目，為的是拓展、是 傳承，是探索作品的當代意義。
A fan of Cantonese opera or not, any local citizen will likely be able to hum a few lines of Floral Princess like “raining petals overshadowing the moonlight” (lok-faa mun-tin bai jyut-gwong). One may not exactly feel the grudge of subjugation expressed in “lamenting the calamitous country”, but will probably know of the tragic love story of Princess Coeng-ping and Consort Zau Sai-hin. Floral Princess seems to be the symbol of Cantonese opera, or everyone’s first experience in this art form.
On the occasion of the 65th anniversary of Floral Princess, in order to allow everyone to approach and get to know this gem of Cantonese opera, aside from stage performances, which remake and pay homage to a classic, Utopia Cantonese Opera Workshop further collaborates with different partners, holding many transdisciplinary and extended events, in order to bring further, to pass on, to explore the contemporary meaning of the work.
