Exhibition Introduction

A magnificent stage where stars gather and shine brightly

"Sapphire Grand Cabaret" is a grand performance where people express their true feelings. What is "performed" here is the life of the people, and what is "sung" is the emotion from the heart. Each performance and song tells the story of a generation's youthful memories.

By sorting through precious historical materials, preserving objects with a sense of the era, and recreating classic glamorous show costumes, one can see the glorious years and rise and fall of the Sapphire Grand Cabaret, learn about the various 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 venue 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 Geliang Zhu'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 cabaret show, allowing us to recount the sincere memories of youth from that time.

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 the dynamic and passionate performances of Lin Chong, the unique voice of the pure singer Mei Dai, the beautiful and sexy Chen Meifeng, and the deeply affectionate Hong Ronghong. These show legends are all unforgettable.

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