Meritorious Artist Huu Danh: "Mai Vang Tri An" is a great motivation
As the third generation artist in a large family dedicated to the art of hát bội, Meritorious Artist Hữu Danh is highly appreciated by experts for his ability to act, apply choreography and impressively exploit the inner thoughts of the characters.
He also followed the path of his teacher - People's Artist Dinh Bang Phi - working as a speaker, promoting and introducing to young audiences the unique features of Southern opera art.
Every week at the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of History - where the Ho Chi Minh City Opera House organizes free performances for visitors to the Zoo, he is diligently working on leading the program and creating interaction with young audiences.
He has just successfully adapted the script "Hero" by author Vuong Huyen Co into a opera script, which is being directed by Vo Ho Hoang Vu under the artistic advice of People's Artist Tran Ngoc Giau.
This will be the graduation play of the young director and director of the Ho Chi Minh City Hat Boi Art Theater in November 2023.
Meritorious Artist Huu Danh recalls his early years in the profession of hát bội. Although his father, the late artist Hữu Thoại (1911 - 1976) - one of the famous artists of that period - did not want his son to follow in his footsteps, so he almost did not learn from his father, but it was the family's love for the profession that urged Meritorious Artist Huu Danh to pursue the profession of hát bội.
"At that time, my father's close friend - the late People's Artist Thanh Ton - father of Meritorious Artist Thanh Loc, saw my passion and introduced me to pursue an acting career. Then with perseverance, I learned acting, learned script writing and also learned staging" - Meritorious Artist Huu Danh said.
He is currently on the list of candidates for the 10th People's Artist title, signed by President Vo Van Thuong.
Receiving the gift from the "Mai Vang Tri An" program, he expressed his gratitude to Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper and Nam A Commercial Joint Stock Bank. "This meaningful gift gives me more motivation to continue composing and accompanying young actors and directors."
"Currently, each year, according to the performance schedule serving the community and some cooperation activities, the HCM City Opera House performs from 120 to 140 shows, with peak years when the number of shows increases to 180. Through these performances, we introduce and answer questions about opera art for young people, so that they can join hands to preserve and conserve it" - Meritorious Artist Huu Danh confided.
Musician Vo Thanh Liem: I will always dedicate myself
Claiming to be a person of the annual Mai Vang Award, every year musician Vo Thanh Liem contributes to the arrangement of musical performances, traditional songs, and music and dance at the Mai Vang Award Ceremony at the City Theater.
Receiving the meaningful gift, he confided: "Having received the gift, my efforts must be raised to a new level. Because, this practical concern reminds the artist to contribute more, continue to contribute to bringing many achievements to the city's literature and art in particular and the whole country in general. Thank you for the "Mai Vang Tri An" program of Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper" - musician Vo Thanh Liem expressed.

As a member of the Bach Duong Band in the early years of national reunification, musician Vo Thanh Liem was a mainstay of the nightly performance program. He composed, arranged and directed the band when the remaining members were all women, including musician Ngoc Minh, his wife.
Later, when he became acquainted with stage directors, he was invited to participate as a musician composing music for plays, from reformed opera to drama, and then worked at Tran Huu Trang Theater.
He is proficient in using musical instruments, thereby bringing traditional instruments into the harmonies, creating a unique mark for each performance.
His name is known through his compositions and arrangements for major festival programs in Ho Chi Minh City, not only associated with Tran Huu Trang Theater, he also participated with Ho Chi Minh City Light Music Center, Ho Chi Minh City Center for Performing Arts and Cinema and most art units from public to socialized.

I always accompany young people with the desire to contribute to bringing new spiritual values to the cai luong stage through staging and music.
