Dear Leslie

WORLD CULTURE OPEN AWARDS 2004

 I wish to express my heartiest congratulations to you and the Chinese Theatre Circle on your selection as one of the finalist by the World Cultural Open Organizing Committee in New York City.

 The members of the Chinese Theatre Circle have every reason to feel a great sense of achievement and pride, as Singapore was one of the 12 finalists selected from a total of 180 nominations. Although the Chinese Theatre Circle did not win the top prize, it has broken new ground in New York. This prestigious nomination has provided the Chinese Theatre Circle with another opportunity to show case Singapore’s Chinese Opera in English to a new audience. Its members have done Singapore proud.

 May I take this opportunity to convey my best wishes to the Chinese Theatre Circle and that it may grow and continue to share Singapore’s cultural diversity with the international community.

Your sincerely

 

 

 

 

RICHARD GROSSE

Budapest, 14 September 1998

Dear Mr. Wong,

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for the tour of CTC group to Hungary in June/July this year.

On behalf of the Budapest Festival Center, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to you in bringing the world of Chinese opera from Singapore to Hungary. It was a great pleasure for us to co-operate and work closely with you during the months of preparation for this first ever tour of Chinese opera to Hungary. Your presence and participation at our Budapest Street Festival was not only an exotic one, but also an artistic contribution towards our common achievements. The performances of the Chinese Theatre Circle have drawn crowds like no other and it was a tremendous success at the Vörösmarty Square, along the Andrássy Street and in the Vajdahunyad Castle as well. All the news reports on the Festival mention the Chinese Opera as being the first and foremost interesting and most of the articles illustrated were centered on the CTC photos. The visitors referred to you as the most interesting and the most successful programme in the Festival and it was a very rare occastion to meet here such marvellous representatives of the Far Eastern civilization. it was clearly the highlight of the Festival and the most memorable one for those who were there.

We are in receipt of similar appreciation and appraisal concerning your outstanding performances in the Kodály Festival in Kecskemét and the Hotel Ezüstpark, Siófok.

We hope that despite of the often tight schedules, the members of the ensemble had time and opportunity to enjoy themselves and that they all returned home pleased and satisfied – bringing along with them a small part of Hungary. It was an unforgettable delight for us to discover the Chinese opera in such a colourful and exciting way and we are grateful to you for without your leadership, guidance and organization, this tour would not have been possible.

We wish you every success in the coming years.

Yours sincerely,
