On the evening of February 4, the Huynh Long Traditional Opera Troupe held a performance program to celebrate its brand after 7 years of operation with high revenue. This was also an opportunity for artist Binh Tinh to express gratitude to the senior artists who have supported and guided the younger generation of artists who have been attached to the troupe with meaningful Tet gifts.

Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh emotionally expressed his gratitude for having learned his profession from Huynh Long troupe.

Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh confided that he is an amateur artist coming to the traditional theater stage, so each valuable lesson passed on by the artists of the troupe is an unforgettable memory in his artistic career.

"Every dance move, every ancient opera piece, every way to wear armor and even ancient opera facial makeup, I have learned and practiced. I am happy to be with the Huynh Long ancient opera troupe" - Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh said.

People's Artist Huu Quoc organized a mini game show to find the "King" and "Queen" of the Huynh Long brand. In fact, the winner, whether male or female, still had to compete in talent, which was to randomly draw a request to sing a classical opera piece composed by the late composer Bach Mai, and improvise with an ancient band, while the deciding question was to name 20 famous artists who had been associated with and grown up from the cradle of Huynh Long classical opera.

Meritorious Artist Hoai Linh invited his teacher - artist Huu Hue - who taught him about choreography to have a drink at the beginning of spring.

Young artists such as Cao My Chau, Nguyen Cat Phuong, Hoai Nhung, Bao Ngoc, Trong Nhan, Huynh Nhat, Le Khanh, Hoang Quoc Thanh overcame the challenges. What is more valuable is that after the competition, they understood more about the formation and development of the Huynh Long classical opera troupe - the cradle that has nurtured the talents of many famous artists.

Artist Cao My Chau shared: "I am very moved, because after many years of collaborating with the troupe, today after 7 years I have the opportunity to learn and understand the predecessors in the art of traditional Tuong. This pride will give me more strength to have more stable wings, to fly higher on the artistic path".

Young artists of Huynh Long troupe sing songs celebrating the new spring and new victories.

Artist Binh Tinh was moved: "In 2023, the troupe had many tours and was warmly welcomed by audiences at home and abroad. I have fulfilled my mother's last wish, which was to maintain the development of the Huynh Long brand. The year of Giap Thin is the year of Huynh Long, so we must strive harder to achieve many new achievements" - artist Binh Tinh said.

The troupe performed 10 shows in the Central provinces, then toured France to serve overseas audiences with the play "Giang Son My Nhan", and at the same time introduced the stage of Cai Luong Tuong Co to students in Ho Chi Minh City.

Also attending Huynh Long's celebration were artists: Meritorious Artist Ngoc Dung, Meritorious Artist Minh Nhi, artist Cat Phuong, artist Huu Hue, Hieu Canh, Hong Sap, Ngan Tuan, Phuong Cam Ngoc...
