Launching of “Once in a 1000 years”
14 – 18 Apr Hanoi
The Australian Embassy is pleased to present its “Once in a 1000 years: an Australian Gift to Hanoi” cultural program, a series of free exhibitions, concerts and cultural exchanges designed to get into the 2010 party spirit with Hanoi. The program, organised in partnership with the Hanoi People’s Committee, features outstanding exhibitions and performers belonging to Australia’s proud Indigenous culture.
Good friends celebrate birthdays together. That’s why we’ve put together this exciting schedule of free events for all Hanoians to enjoy. It’s our way of getting into the party spirit with the people of Hanoi. Australian Ambassador HE Mr Allaster Cox
Highlights of the program include the remarkable Balgo Exhibition at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology, and the Journey through Time Gala Concert and outdoor youth concert at the iconic Cultural Friendship Palace. The program also features music, traditional story-telling, hip hop performances and children’s activities. Detailed schedules and information for each of the events can be found in the previous post on Hanoi Grapevine.
Tried to get tickets for these events on the 12th and 13th at the Australian Embassy and was unable to reach anyone by calling from the front guard gate. The guards knew nothing about the program except to hand me the brochure.
The second day the guards told me there were no more tickets.
I feel this was a poorly handled ticket distribution.
So sad.
