It was popular at the regions where Hakka people settled, and welcomed by quite a lot of general public of Hakka. During the Japanese ruling period, it was affected by other types of operas, and has consequently absorbed the performance style and connotation of every major drama. Then, Hakka Three-character Tea-picking Opera has gradually transformed into Grand Hakka Opera (also called Modified Opera).
In the performance of traditional opera, the cooperation of the stage actors and the backstage musicians is very important, including the vocal music, figure, acrobatic fighting, and the spoken parts of the actors. Besides, the instrumental music has the duty to match and change the mood of the plot.
