Cai Luong appeared in the year tenth of the twentieth century. It was
first officially performed abroad under the form of a modern opera in
1931 and then developed as a theater for amateurs. Cai Luong first
appeared under the form of chamber music. Later on, one part of it was
shifted into a kind of gesture performance (with different ways of
speaking, declaiming, singing) and could be seen as a gestured form of
singing. This new form was thus a renovated form of chamber music, and was
called Cai Luong.
