Jacky Lam
Lead Performer
In the formative years of his career, Jacky Lam underwent extensive training with the Guangzhou Cantonese Opera Troupe, where he meticulously honed his proficiency in every facet of opera performance. This foundational experience set the stage for his artistic journey. Despite relocating to Vancouver, Jacky steadfastly maintained his connection to his artistic origins, a testament to his enduring commitment. Recently, spurred by the unwavering support of friends and guided by skilled opera mentors, Jacky embarked on a journey of rediscovery, successfully retracing his artistic path. This resurgence not only reignited his passion but also garnered significant stage exposure and acclaim across prominent cultural hubs, including Vancouver, Calgary, and Malaysia. Notably, Vancouver Cantonese Opera took the creative helm, crafting two groundbreaking fusion operas that played a pivotal role in Jacky’s recent artistic endeavors. On November 5th, 2022, Jacky assumed the role of the protagonist in “The Prop Master’s Dream,” a unique production seamlessly blending Cantonese opera influences. Looking ahead, Jacky is poised to play the lead role of James Wong in the second Cantonese Fusion opera, titled “The Awakening.” Currently in the artistic development phase in 2024, this production is set to come to life in 2025, further solidifying Jacky’s place in the rich tapestry of Cantonese opera on the global stage. As he looks forward, Jacky aspires to elevate his skills and achievements, contributing to the ongoing legacy of Vancouver Cantonese Opera.
