Age has not dulled Elizabeth Choy Him Heong's passion for the stage.

At 82, Choy is still very much involved in the local Chinese opera scene long after many of her peers have called it quits. As troupe leader of Yim Yong Tin Cantonese opera, she is the key person co-ordinating engagements or invitations for the troupe which she founded in 1955.
