It has toured the U.S., France, Holand, Belgium, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places.

Some of the "founding" girls like He Ying (zh:何英), Fang Xuewen (zh:方雪雯), Dong Kedi (zh:董柯娣), He Saifei, and Mao Weitao — collectively known as the "Five Golden Flowers of Yue opera" — became celebrities[4] (especially in the Wu-speaking areas) after the release of the 1984 film Five Daughters Offering Felicitations (五女拜壽), an adaption of the Chinese Yue opera Birthday Celebration by Five Daughters, which won Best Opera Film at the 5th Golden Rooster Awards.

Their popularity can be seen from frequent invites to perform on CCTV New Year's Gala, the world's most watched television program: Owing to their star power, the 1980s has been called the golden days of Yue opera.

With more audience shifting to mass entertainment products such as popular music and TV dramas, the market of Yue Opera was struggling for survival, resulting in a big laying out of performers.
