“…In Guangzhou, as a leisure activity embedded in urban parks, Cantonese opera has combined performance and gathering functions. Under the local government's promotion, the city park has become a place for residents to celebrate traditional cultural festivals and promote the city to tourists [18]. As such, it is reasonable and valuable to take Cantonese opera as a case of leisure study.…”

Many regions and countries hope to employ cultural leisure products to obtain economic benefits. However, in the process of globalisation, cultural standardisation has posed difficulties for vulnerable cultures in terms of cultural inheritance and sustainable development. As with many intangible cultural heritages, Cantonese opera is also facing a shrinking market. Hence, to develop the strategy of sustainable development of Cantonese opera, this research aims to clarify the connection between cultural identity and loyalty in cultural leisure consumption in the context of Cantonese opera as a leisure product. The results show that each dimension of cultural identity has a positive effect on perceived value, and two dimensions positively affect satisfaction. The path of cultural identity building loyalty is also confirmed to be through perceived value and satisfaction. Future studies and the consequences of future practices are discussed.

“…Different from foreign audiences, local residents patronize their traditional performing arts because of the leisure value rather than the authentic and exotic experiences sought by foreign audiences (Henke 2005, Matheson 2008, Tikkanen 2008. For residents, traditional performing arts particularly offer them a range of leisure experiential benefits such as entertainment, cultural experience, educational benefits, and socialization (Vinnicombe andSou 2017, Lin andDong 2018). Therefore, it is believed that the experiences provided by Cantonese opera benefit residents' leisure life and may determine local audiences' consumption preference and enjoyment.…”

This study attempts to empirically investigate Macao residents' perception and enjoyment of their traditional performing arts -Cantonese opera. By examining the relationship between the experiential attributes and intrinsic artistic components of Cantonese opera, this study found that the experiential attributes and intrinsic craftsmanship were significantly correlate and influence on the residents' enjoyment of their traditional performing arts. While the constructs of "identity connection" and "leisure experiential benefits" are found to have significant prediction towards the intrinsic craftsmanship and residents' enjoyment of Cantonese opera, the intrinsic craftsmanship is the strongest latent variable to predict residents' enjoyment. Moreover, the statistical results reveal that Macao residents' consumption experience of Cantonese opera vary with their socio-demographic characteristics, particularly the residents' birthplace and age. This study empirically supports that the experiential attributes associated with tangible cultural heritage can apply to intangible cultural heritage and influence its attractiveness. Some practical and theoretical implications are suggested.
