Singing and acting like a man

Linguistics graduate Mitchie Choi swapped the study of language for the world of martial arts, operatic singing and acting.

The 22-year-old is one of the few people studying for a degree in Cantonese Opera.

She tells the BBC about why she loves the art - and why she can only perform as male characters now.
