Glitter & Silk is an exhibition of Chinese opera costumes from the 1950s and 1960s. In Cantonese opera, the costumes are the most visually arresting and elaborately designed elements which are seen on the stage. For live stage performances the backdrop and props are sparse, with much of the scene setting left to the audience imagination or subtle hints given by the performers.

The costumes are colourful, eyecatching and draw the focus onto the performer who conveys every last detail of the story with a dramatic flurry of fabric.
