摘要

独立前粤剧在吉隆坡已经历了萌芽和全盛时期，直至马来亚独立时粤剧的发展开始呈现颓势。战后粤剧依然盛行于吉隆坡，职业粤剧团和粤剧伶人活跃于各个游艺场，其中月团圆粤剧团是广为吉隆坡观众所熟悉的本土剧团。观赏传统戏曲成了当时人们的主要娱乐活动，甚至有着“追星热潮”。然而现代电影和声光科技对粤剧造成不小的冲击，分散了粤剧的观众数量。当时就有传统艺术爱好者提出对粤剧进行改革的评论，期望粤剧不被时代和社会转型而遭淘汰。粤剧在吉隆坡曾风光一时，为吉隆坡传统戏曲留下珍贵的文化遗产。

Abstract

Before Independence, Cantonese opera had taken flight and reached its peak. However, it took a downturn when Malaya achieved its independence. During the post war period, Cantonese opera was still popular in Kuala Lumpur. The professional Cantonese opera troupes were active in various amusement parks. Moon Reunion Cantonese Opera Troupe was one of the more well-known local opera troupes. Watching traditional opera then was the main entertainment for many. It even became a trend to support popular opera actors and actresses by attending their shows. However, modern film, sound and lighting technology adversely affected Cantonese opera, reducing the number of its audience. At that time, there were traditional art supporters who suggested revolutionizing Cantonese opera, with the hope that it will remain relevant through time and societal change. Cantonese opera had its glorious days in Kuala Lumpur. It left a precious cultural heritage for the Kuala Lumpur traditional drama scene.
