NAM HWA OPERA LIMITED

Founded in 1963, Nam Hwa Opera has been upholding and carrying forward the traditional Teochew culture, promoting the artform of Teochew, and actively seeking breakthroughs in the field of performing arts. In addition to presenting classic operas, Nam Hwa Opera is also taking bold initiatives to combine modern technology and multiculturalism to create works of art with a “Singaporean flavour”. A non-profit organisation since 2015 with charity and Institution of a Public Character (IPC) status and enjoys tax deduction for donations, Nam Hwa Opera’s mission is to preserve and promote traditional Teochew heritage in arts and culture. In 2020, we are being conferred the inaugural “The Stewards of Intangible Cultural Heritage Award” by the National Heritage Board. In 2022, Guangdong Chao Opera Theatre from China invited Nam Hwa Opera Limited to jointly establish the “Guangdong Chao Opera Institute Singapore Teochew Opera Heritage Centre”. 成立于1963年，多年来坚守传承与弘扬传统潮人文化,推广潮剧艺术，积极寻求卓越表演艺术领域的突破。除了呈献经典剧目，南华潮剧社还大胆尝试创新，结合现代科技及融合多元文化，打造新加坡特色的艺术作品。 南华潮剧社于2015年4月获准为慈善机构，享有捐款扣税优惠。2020年非常荣幸获得由国家文物局颁发的首届“新加坡非物质文化遗产传承人奖”。南华也于2022年获得中国广东潮剧院的肯定，受邀成为 “广东潮剧院新加坡潮剧传承中心” 。
