粵劇，又稱廣東大戲，是中國戲曲之一。粵劇起源於明朝（西元1368年－1644年）的廣東廣西兩地，主要流行於廣東，廣西，香港和澳門等地。後來由於很多中國人移居海外，也深受美國，新加坡，馬來西亞等當地華人的歡迎。著名曲目有：帝女花，三笑姻緣，西廂記等等。

粵劇的表演形式非常簡單。一開始主要人物出場時會進行自我介紹，即所謂的“自報家門”，它由“打引”，“定場詩”，“坐場白”組成。“打引”是主角第一次上場時半念半唱的一些詞句，表述心情，處境，身份，報復情緒等等。“打引”完後要念四句詩，即“定場詩”，介紹特定情景和人物思想感情。之後要念一段“坐場白”，介紹人物身世，家境，經歷等等。除了主角之外，粵劇中還有一些扮演士兵，隨從，宮女等人員，因為穿在身上特殊的龍套衣所以有“跑龍套” 之稱，之後“跑龍套”這一單詞就用來形容那些做無關緊要的工作或是扮演無足輕重的人員。

粵劇名列於2006年第一批中國國家級非物質文化遺產名錄之內，後又獲聯合國教科文組織肯定，列入人類非物質文化遺產名錄之中。

Cantonese Opera, also known as Guangdong opera, is one of Chinese operas. Cantonese Opera originated in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1368 -1644 years) in Guangdong and Guangxi, mainly popular in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong and Macau. Later, due to emigration, Cantonese opera is also popular within Chinese immigrants in the United States, Singapore, Malaysia and so on. There are famous tracks like Princess Chang Ping, three laugh marriage, The West Chamber, etc.

The performances of Cantonese opera are very simple. The main character will start with a self-introduction, called " zì bào jiāmén," which consists of "playing the lead", " first soliloquy poem", and "first soliloquy”. "Playing the lead" are some words the protagonists read and sing on their debut, about their feelings, situations, identity, emotion of revenge, etc. Follows are poems (A quatrain) called “first soliloquy text”, which describes specific scenarios and characters’ thoughts and feelings. After poems is " first soliloquy " that introduces the characters’ life, family, experience and so on. In addition to the main character, there are some other characters like soldiers, attendants, maids and other staff. These people are called " pǎolóngtào " because of their “lóngtào” (special cameo wore clothes). Afterwards, " pǎolóngtào " is used to describe people who do insignificant work or play an insignificant role in a play.

Cantonese Opera ranked in the first batch of China's national intangible cultural heritage, and was acknowledged by UNESCO later on, so it was enlisted into the intangible cultural heritage of mankind.
