Some time ago I went to a Chinese opera in Bangkok. The shows are put on by a troupe of traveling performers on a makeshift stage, usually set up in a backstreet somewhere in the city.

They kindly let me backstage and I spent an hour or so snapping away while they got ready for the show.

As with the shots from my recent post on Myanmar, these where taken a couple of years ago and could be a lot better but they do have something about them.

I’d love to pay another visit to the opera next time they are in Bangkok.
