HCMC – Gala ”An Ode to the Motherland”

Tue 19 May 2015, 8 pm
HCMC Opera House

From the organizer:

Two new works (a symphony and a ballet) completed in 2015 will have their premiere at 8pm on may 19th, 2015 at the Ho Chi Minh City Opera House in HBSO’s Gala “An Ode to the Motherland”. They are two important works as they mark a new development in Vietnamese classical arts.

Composer Vinh Lai’s 4-movement symphony “The Unshakable and Heoric East – Southern Motherland” has strong flavours of Southern folk songs in a uniquely colourful and creative modern context as it shows profound humanity and philosophy. There has not been many works in this standard 4-movement structure lately; this work shows a great effort and great creativity investment.

Ballet Suite “The Motherland”, choreographed by People Artists Ha The Dung, Luong Xuan Thanh and Ta Thuy Chi, music by Vu Viet Anh and La Y San, premiered in March 2015 and has made a great impression on the puublic and critics alike. The work will be performed by famed dancer Ta Thuy Chi and artists from the Experimental Theatre of the Ho Chi Minh City School of Dance.
