A small orchestra consisting of the violin, the accordion and local Malay percussion instruments such as\u00a0 the kompang, would normally accompany the stage-acts. Comedy and tragedy were the common genres.\u00a0 Stories\u00a0 which imbed morals were often told through these plays. While the plays were in Malay, the stories were adapted from legends and folklore from diverse origins such as Chinese, European, Hindi, Arabian and Malay. The classical Malay language was normally used. This would be a higher form of Malay that was used by the Malay Royal Courts, which was archaic.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3104\" style=\"width: 221px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Cheong-Koon-Seng.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3104\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3104\" title=\"Cheong Koon Seng\" src=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Cheong-Koon-Seng.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"271\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3104\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cheong Koon Sen, impresario  co-founder\/owner of Star Opera Company<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The most renowned was the Star Opera Company (1909 \u2013 1927) which was owned by the Peranakan brothers &#8211; K.H. Cheong (Cheong Koon Hong) and K.S. Cheong (Cheong Koon Seng) and was managed by their nephew Y.L. Tan (Tan Yew Lee). It was situated at Star Opera Hall &#8211; Theatre Royal, North Bridge Road. They accepted reservations through phone bookings as early as 1918. Tickets costs between $0.50 to $5. Star Opera was so popular that it received patronage from various Malay Royals like the Sulatan of Trengganu in 1910. Even the Europeans attended its 1914 \u00a0production of Shakespeare&#8217;s &#8220;Hamlet&#8221; in Malay.<\/p>\n<p>Their star artiste was Khairudin, also popularly known as Tairu (Tairo).<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>His name was synonymous with the Bangsawan. He was so sought-after that\u00a0his performances were frequently sold-out.<strong> <\/strong>As with\u00a0many movie stars of today, fame\u00a0invited gossip. Magic charms had been suggested for his unwavering popularity.\u00a0The nyonyas mesmerized by Tairu\u2019s dashing good looks,\u00a0 literally threw their jewellery on stage\u00a0 after each performance\u00a0 \u2013 a diamond ring or a hurriedly unfasten <em>kerosang intan<\/em> (diamond brooch) being the commonest items. Flustered Babas\u00a0 forbade their wives from attending his performance. His career peaked during 1918 but\u00a0he stopped performing for the Star Opera\u00a0 around 1924 to start and star in\u00a0a very successful company called \u201cDean\u2019s Opera\u201d\u00a0 also at Theatre Royal, North Bridge Road. He had probably taken over the venue from Star Opera Company. By then he billed himself as Kairo Dean. Born in Hong Kong in 1890, he came to Singapore in 1900 and studied in Belilios Public School. He was not very good at his studies and worked as a handbill boy for Wang Kassim at the age of 14, earning 15 cents per day.\u00a0He was talent spotted by its director Gulam Mydin and the rest is now history&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Over at Frankel Estate&#8217;s Opera Estate, streets were not only named after European Operas like Tosca, Aida or Figaro. Jalan Bangsawan, Jalan Khairuddin and Jalan Bintang Tiga of the Malay Opera world could also be found.<\/p>\n<p>More on Bangsawan by Norman Cho <a href=\"http:\/\/peranakan.s3.amazonaws.com\/2011\/PA-2011-03.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Recently Bangsawan was revived by the Singapore River.\u00a0 Read Jerome Lim&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/thelongnwindingroad.wordpress.com\/tag\/old-parliament-house-limited\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blog<\/a> for more.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3103\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Bangsawan-revival-Jeromes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3103\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3103\" title=\"Bangsawan revival Jeromes\" src=\"http:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Bangsawan-revival-Jeromes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Bangsawan-revival-Jeromes.jpg 400w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Bangsawan-revival-Jeromes-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/bukitbrown.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/Bangsawan-revival-Jeromes-213x320.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3103\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Resplendent Revival of Bangsawan by the River 2012 (photo by Jerome Lim)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This article is adapted by Norman from<br \/>\n<em><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">&#8220;an article first published in The Peranakan, Issue 3, 2011, pp. 3.
