29th Golden Apricot Award

What did the artists say about the reunion at the 29th Mai Vang Awards ceremony on January 18?

Meritorious Artist Vo Minh Lam: "The role of Liem is the character I love the most"

A year with many new roles, but unexpectedly, the character of the interpreter Liem in the play "The Singer" on the Dai Viet New Opera stage was the role that brought me happiness. During my time striving for the profession, the Mai Vang Award has brought me so much joy on my artistic path. I predict that one of the two actresses who have worked closely with me, Que Tran and Tu Suong, will reach for the Mai Vang statue. As for me, whether I receive the award or not, it will not change my feelings for the Mai Vang Award, which is the love from readers and the public who love the opera stage.

This year, I had the honor to participate in the "Kindness Around Us" show, to pay tribute to and honor the generous people of the city named after beloved Uncle Ho. I believe that through the 29th Mai Vang Awards, stage artists will have more new creations worthy of the public's affection for the cai luong stage.

Meritorious Artist Tu Suong: "Vow to transmit positive energy to the profession"

I always place the Mai Vang statue in a solemn place at home. For many years, the Mai Vang Award has always been a motivation for me to strive in my career. This year, I was unexpectedly nominated and had my name in the voting round for the role of Bui Thi Xuan in the play "Upstream Tay Son". It was a great joy because we received the attention and encouragement of readers and audiences for the cai luong stage, especially on the topic of Vietnamese history.

Whatever I do and whatever my role, I will work with my colleagues to spread positive energy to young people to preserve and develop traditional theater.

Comedian Huynh Lap: "Believe in the audience's choice"

Being recognized by readers of the Lao Dong Newspaper for my work in the past year as a director, I am happy that the play "Mother of the Street Singers" also brought me the role of Uncle Ba, which was nominated and entered the voting round. I always strive to overcome all difficulties and live up to the expectations of the majority of readers and the public who came to see the play "Mother of the Street Singers" at Truong Hung Minh Art Stage.

I will attend the award ceremony and feel the happiness when the audience cheers for the roles, plays, and works in the voting groups. Thank you to the audience, thank you to the Golden Apricot Awards for so many good feelings for the artists.

Actress Le Loc: "The audience always gives me strength"

These past few days, I was very excited when I heard that I was in the top 2 in the comedy category. Because this year, the role of Van in the musical "Bong Canh Co" of Hong Van Drama Theater gave me the opportunity to both perform comedy and sing folk songs by musician Bac Son. Therefore, this is an unforgettable memory when I was voted for by readers and audiences for the first time. Whether I win an award or not, this role will always motivate me to achieve better results in my upcoming roles.

Artist Hoang Hai: "Always try to renew myself"

I feel that I have received a lot of attention from readers and audiences, so I am always determined to renew myself through each role. I thank the love that readers and audiences have given me in the project to promote traditional plays. I was overwhelmed with happiness when I was voted into the top 4 male actors on stage. I am extremely proud to have worked with many talented uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, from which I have gained many valuable experiences.

Composer Hoang Song Viet: "The Mai Vang Award is a motivation for the young generation to rise up"

I always tell young actors participating in Dai Viet New Opera Stage that you must make an effort to be recognized by readers and the public for your artistic achievements after a year of hard work. When I learned that the play "The Singer" was on the voting list, I was happy because it was an opportunity to promote the play with the participation of young actors.

Director Hoa Ha and I always advocate helping young people to work seriously and reap the rewards from difficult roles. I thank the affection of the readers of Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper for the "Acting Girl" crew. I always look forward to new plays where the main characters are assigned to young actors. The Mai Vang Award every year is also a motivation for Dai Viet New Cai Luong Stage to grow.
