[[Chinese Opera]] is one of the world's "Intangible Cultural Heritages". One of bamboo scaffolding's main alternative uses is in drama theatres. The flexibility and convenience of this type of scaffolding suits stages set up for temporary use and also separates the audience from the performers.

Respecting and promoting the traditional cultures of Chinese Opera, a huge event called the [[West Kowloon Bamboo Theatre]] has been held at the [[West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade]] annually since 2012.

==== Yu Lan Ghost Festival ====
Stages are built from bamboo scaffolding for the live Chinese operas and Chiu Chow–style dramas performed during every [[Yu Lan]] Ghost Festival to worship ghostly ancestors.

==== Cheung Chau Bun Festival ====
