I'm flying to Hong Kong in a few hours so I can watch the one and only Connie Chan perform Cantonese opera at the HK Coliseum this weekend. I'll be back to my regular blogging late next week.
The above photo dates from 1958, when Connie — already a rising opera star — was just eleven years old. (Thanks to Oldflames for the wonderful bon voyage!)
UPDATE: I just heard the sad news that Connie's mother, opera star Kung Fan-hung, passed away last night after collapsing at the Hong Kong Coliseum during Connie's first performance. Please join me in extending heartfelt sympathy to her at this time.
