After a temporary suspension due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ha Tinh Traditional Arts Theater (NTTT) has re-staged the opera "Uncle Ho's Advice Before Leaving" to tour and serve the masses, on the occasion of the 133rd birthday of President Ho Chi Minh (May 19, 1890 - May 19, 2023) and the 66th anniversary of Uncle Ho's visit to Ha Tinh (June 15, 1957 - June 15, 2023).
With a duration of nearly 50 minutes, “Uncle Ho’s Advice Before Leaving” recreates the life of President Ho Chi Minh from the time he left Nha Rong port to find a way to save the country, to the time he returned to the eternal world. It focuses on 4 segments: The farewell with Ut Hue at Nha Rong port, Uncle Ho’s visit to Ha Tinh, Uncle Ho hearing the news of the 10 female Youth Volunteers at Dong Loc crossroads who sacrificed their lives, and the last moments before he “returned” to Marx and Lenin.

Starting its tour on May 18, 2023, up to now, Ha Tinh NTTT Theater has brought "Uncle Ho's Advice Before Passing Away" to serve the public in 5 localities including: Can Loc, Nghi Xuan, Cam Xuyen, Loc Ha and Ha Tinh City. The performances have attracted thousands of audiences to enjoy.
Mr. Phan Tien Chuong (70 years old, in Phu Nghia residential group, Loc Ha town) expressed: “It has been a long time since we have had the opportunity to watch such a touching opera about Uncle Ho. Through the performance of the artists of Ha Tinh NTTT Theater, we seem to be immersed in the life journey of the beloved leader, who devoted his life to the country and the people, and until his last breath, he still longed for the day the country was unified. Watching the play, I think more about the peace and prosperity of my homeland and country today and the great contributions of President Ho Chi Minh”.
Not only the elderly audience, many young people also expressed their emotions when watching "Uncle Ho's Advice Before Leaving". Mr. Nguyen Van Hoang (25 years old, in Nghen town, Can Loc) said: "Every scene was emotional, but the most impressive part for me was the scene where Uncle Ho visited Ha Tinh and when he heard the news that 10 female Youth Volunteers at Dong Loc Junction had sacrificed their lives.
As a young generation born after Uncle Ho passed away, the play helped us understand Uncle Ho's deep affection for the people of the whole country in general and Ha Tinh in particular, especially for the young generation. Those feelings and advice of Uncle Ho still have value today, urging us, the young generation, to make more efforts to build our homeland more and more beautiful."
The audience of Loc Ha town enjoyed the play "Uncle Ho's Advice Before Passing Away" on the evening of May 24.
In order for the play to create a strong impact on the public, the artists of Ha Tinh NTTT Theater have devoted a lot of effort; the roles always "burn" themselves out on stage.
Actor Thanh Nguyen, who played nurse Oanh who took care of Uncle Ho in his final moments, shared: “Although I have performed the role of nurse Oanh dozens of times, every time I go on stage and enter the scene before Uncle Ho passes away, the artists and I in that scene cannot hold back our tears. We truly relive the sacred moment when the whole nation bid farewell to our old father to the eternal world. Uncle Ho lies there, before he passes away, his heart is still heavy with love for his homeland and country, just thinking about it makes me miss him endlessly...”.

Meritorious Artist Nguyen Thi Cam - Deputy Director in charge of Ha Tinh NTTT Theater said: "Although there are many entertainment channels with diverse genres and artistic themes, the performances of the opera "Uncle's Advice Before Going Away" are always full of audiences. That shows the interest of the majority of Ha Tinh people in opera in general and the theme of Uncle Ho in particular. That is the motivation for us to make more efforts in constantly creating good plays and attractive art programs to serve the audience in the future."
