The concert, under Directors-General duo Joseph Chan and Ip Ka-po with producer Maurice Lai, weaves together text by director Rex Ng and music by composer Lee Che-yi, complemented by the exquisite, expressive on-screen interpretation and vocals of legendary Canto-opera acting duo Yam Kim-fai and Pak Suet-sin from old films starring them.
