Sapphire Grand Cabaret "Legend of the Show" Story Exhibition - Kaohsiung Music Center

Exhibition Introduction

A magnificent stage where stars gather and shine brightly

"Sapphire Grand Show Hall" is a grand performance where people express their true feelings. Here, people's lives are "performed," and their heartfelt emotions are "sung." Each performance and song tells the story of a generation's youthful memories.

By sifting through precious historical materials, preserving objects from the era, and recreating classic and magnificent show costumes, one can witness the glorious years and decline of the Sapphire Grand Show Hall, learn about the interesting anecdotes of the show venue, and experience the grand occasion of stars gathering.

Recreating the Sapphire Grand Stage – The Essence of "Performance"

The show host's skillful guidance makes the interconnected performances rich, varied, delicate, and interesting, filling the show with laughter and joy. This highlights the host's various skills in "speaking, learning, teasing, and singing." "Speaking" uses easy-to-understand jokes to connect each performance; "learning" deeply impresses people with cross-dressing and exaggerated imitations; "teasing" makes the audience burst into laughter with self-deprecating humor; and "singing" often involves improvising lyrics in different songs, creating classic parody songs like Chu Ke-liang's "Mountains South, Mountains North," bringing endless surprises to the audience.

These sounds of joy and laughter intertwine to create the unique scenery of the show hall, allowing us to recount the sincere memories of that youthful era.

From Onstage to Backstage – The Charm of "Singing"

Many wonderful "onstage" performances are closely related to the efforts "backstage." Here, we shift our perspective from "onstage" to "backstage," focusing on "singing" to showcase the dazzling and varied dances and the glorious moments of singers, such as Lin Chong's dynamic and passionate performances, the unique voice of the pure singer Mei Dai, the glamorous and sexy Chen Meifeng, and the deeply affectionate Hung Rong-hong. These show legends are unforgettable.

Each magnificent show costume, each yellowed photograph, and each in-depth interview allows those beautiful years to remain in our hearts forever.
