With an interest all along in Cantonese Opera, Steven Ma became a student to Lung Koon Tin (龍貫天). After honing his skills for a while, Steven finally has a chance to tread the boards and he took part in a charity concert together with his teacher Master Lung and opera stars Joyce Koi and Ng Mei Ying. When he was partnering Joyce, they had a few scenes of comedy raising laughter from the audience. With this debut performance from Steven, he says that he was not nervous at all as he felt it was more like a party.
Steven was singing in aid of the Hong Kong Arthritis Fund and sung a few classic pieces with his co-stars, but he was not nervous at all. He said: "I was very serious about it, sleeping at half past ten last night and waking up at 10am this morning to practice, then drinking ash water to open my voice at lunchtime. I was not nervous because one is my teacher and the others are my friends who know me very well who will help me at the first instance if there is any flaw in my performance. Also, this is a charitable performance and the audience know I am a beginner so they will not expect much from me and it really feels like a party."
With Steven's description of a party feel, it is certainly not exaggerated because he created a few laughs together with Joyce Koi. When Steven was holding her hand to come out on stage, he suddenly said: "Your hand should be facing upwards!" Joyce explained: "I am used to playing the men's part!" When the four were singing together, Master Lung knelt down to let his lady sit on his thigh, but when it was Steven's turn, he mixed up his left and right legs and Joyce was forced to stand and making the audience laugh out loud.
Steven and Joyce have previously worked together on a TV series, but this is the first time they have co-operated in singing Cantonese opera and commenting on the performance of this newcomer, Joyce says he has done very well: "Singing Cantonese Opera is a lot more difficult than singing normal pop songs and I saw that Steven was sweating when he was singing the second song. However, for his first performance, it is certainly not bad."

馬浚偉早前拜粵劇紅伶龍貫天為師學藝，入門一段日子後，終有機會正式踏台板。日前，「馬仔」應香港風濕病基金會邀請，擔任該會的愛心之星，於該會主辦的慈善粵曲晚會上，與師傅龍貫天及名伶蓋鳴暉、吳美英等拍檔演出。
是夜，「馬仔」與三位老倌合唱了三首曲，雖是初踏台板唱粵曲，且與經驗豐富的前輩合作，但他並不緊張，「我很認真的，昨夜十時半就上床，今早十時起床練歌，午間還飲石斛水開聲。我說不緊張，因為一位是師傅，其他兩位是朋友，彼此很熟絡，演出時即使有什麼岔子，他們必定會第一時間出手相救；再者今次演出是慈善性質，觀眾知道我是初學者，要求不會很高，因此，我的感覺就好似開party！」
蓋鳴暉跟「馬仔」在電視劇是舊拍檔，合唱粵曲還是第一次，對這位初哥拍檔的表現，她頗為欣賞。「唱粵曲的難度比流行歌曲高很多倍，我見到馬仔唱到第二首就開始流汗？！不過，第一次能唱出這種成績，實在是不錯了！」是次演出順利，大會籌款情况亦理想。
我要檢舉
