Reporter : Looking back at your initial achievements, what do you think?
- LE HOANG NGHI: This year I just turned 21, too young to say what I have achieved. However, for me, the "Golden Bell of Traditional Opera" award is an opportunity for me to try harder, a reward that I dedicate to my parents, to the teachers who have guided me such as: Meritorious Artist Kieu My Dung, Meritorious Artist Truc Linh, People's Artist Truong Ut, Meritorious Artists: Kieu Nga, Ai Hang, Thanh Tung...
. Being present at the 2024 Cai Luong Theater Festival in Can Tho City as an audience, do you see this as an opportunity to learn the profession?
- Cai luong has been my passion since I was a child. My father was an actor who performed on professional stages. I inherited my Cai luong singing talent from him. This year's festival gathered 1,200 actors, with 34 plays of different styles, so I spent a lot of time enjoying and contemplating. This is a valuable opportunity for me to learn and improve my creative thinking about the art of singing and acting.
In the excerpt of the reformed opera "The Sword of Fame" by author Thach Tuyen, you play the role of National Hero Lam Quang Ky, Deputy General of National Hero Nguyen Trung Truc. What do you think about the role of Vietnamese historian?
- That is a topic that has always fascinated me. When I was a child, when I watched historical plays on television, I dreamed that one day I would play such a role. The spirit of Vietnamese history highlights the indomitable will of brilliant heroes, that halo shines forever like the sun and the moon, giving the actor the mission to portray the personality and image of the heroic character to show the spirit of patriotism.
When I was in school, my teachers taught me to play historical Vietnamese roles, so when I was given the role of Lam Quang Ky, I really liked it and put all my heart into it.
In addition to the Golden Bell award , you also received an award voted by the Press Council. Do you consider yourself lucky?
- This initial success is due to my own efforts and a little luck. As a student of the K4 Stage Actors and Theatre College of Can Tho College of Culture and Arts, who has just graduated, I always remember the advice of my teachers, which is to never be complacent but always be humble to know that learning is vast and vast, learning forever is never enough.

What are your plans after winning the prize?
- I will join the Long An Cai Luong Art Troupe, where there are many opportunities to develop my career. As for Can Tho City, I will still be attached to the Don Ca Tai Tu Club and the Cai Luong stage of Ninh Kieu District. With Ho Chi Minh City Television - HTV (where the Golden Bell of Vong Co competition is held), I am always ready to participate whenever invited. I will also accompany my teacher, Meritorious Artist Kieu My Dung, to participate in the School Stage program to perform in Ho Chi Minh City and other provinces and cities across the country. The excerpts she chooses will be stories about Vietnamese history to foster patriotism and learn from the examples of heroes in the history of fighting against foreign invaders.
As a young actor , what do you worry about most when looking back at the current appearance of the Cai Luong stage?
- I hope that the reformed theater will have more special mechanisms to take off. The internal strength of the theater is very large, this year's festival has 34 plays, which is a proof that the young force from the art units is very strong. Find a way to promote the products and plays after the festival widely in the cultural enjoyment life of young people. The reformed theater is the quintessence that our ancestors have created for over 100 years, the mission of today's young generation is to preserve and cultivate. Watching the festival with many plays with a large young audience, I was very moved. This is a great festival for the art world, and at the same time a space for today's generation of actors to learn from previous artists.
It's too early for you to define your own singing and acting style. What do you hope to achieve when you become the main actor of the professional stage?
- Diversity in portraying characters. I am passionate about Vietnamese history, but that does not mean I can only play this type of role. I also want to develop my skills in many other types of roles, from social psychology to historical, folk, and classical drama. Each type of role will be a valuable lesson to help me grow.
Meritorious Artist Kieu My Dung commented: "Le Hoang Nghi's advantage is her expressive voice. I highly appreciate her ability to adapt and apply lessons learned from her teachers to create her own creativity. I put my trust in Le Hoang Nghi because of her spirit of hard work and dedication to her profession."
