Many outstanding successes
In 2024, the Performing Arts sector has achieved many outstanding successes, including some enviable records. All 12 theaters of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism completed their 2024 plans by the beginning of December. The Vietnam Puppetry Theater is currently operating vigorously with more than 1,000 performances, a remarkable record in the history of the Theater. The Youth Theater has also left its mark by continuously launching new programs for young people. In 2024, the theater staged four new plays under the 2024 Summer of Love project and adjusted the performance schedule to 8:00 p.m. on Saturdays and 3:00 p.m. on Sundays, making it easier for parents and young audiences to arrange their time to enjoy the arts.
In 2024, the Performing Arts industry achieved many outstanding successes, including some enviable records.
For the field that seems to be the most selective of audiences today, in 2024, the Vietnam Tuong Theater also sold 350 tickets per performance at the Hong Ha Theater. Although it cooperated with an event organization company, this was an important turning point after many years of Tuong art returning to the form of direct ticket sales. Many audiences were surprised and delighted to enjoy unique Tuong plays, imbued with tradition, right in the heart of the capital.
The Vietnam Circus Federation, the Youth Theatre, the Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra and the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet are not only active domestically but also have many international cooperation programs and have achieved great success. In 2024 alone, the Vietnam Puppetry Theatre will perform one tour in the US, three tours in Japan and one tour in Taiwan. The 4-woman Conical Hat Swing performance of the Vietnam Circus Federation has won the Silver Medal at the 8th International Circus Festival "IDOL" held in the Russian Federation, marking the first time that Vietnamese circus has been honored in the "powerhouse" of circus arts.
In 2024, for the first time, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism organized the 1st International Jazz Festival - Nha Trang 2024. This is the first time a Jazz festival has been held in Vietnam, marking an important event in the country's musical life. The program brings together more than 100 famous Jazz artists and bands from Vietnam, the US, Singapore and Korea. The artists brought to the audience impressive performances of diverse genres, from Classic, Bossa Nova to Jazz Funk, World Music. The program has received high praise from experts and the general public. This is an important cultural event, contributing to promoting the image of Khanh Hoa tourism to international friends. The success of the festival is a typical example of its contribution to the success of the performing arts industry last year.
Contributing to the vibrant picture of performing arts last year, we cannot fail to mention the two TV shows "Anh trai say hi" and "Anh trai vu ngan chong gai" with record numbers that created a "bright spot" for the performing arts industry. The fever of hunting for concert tickets for "Anh trai vu ngan chong gai" and "Anh trai say hi" caused social networks to explode. Tickets were sold out at all concerts of the two shows. The ticket sales system for the concert of "Anh trai vu ngan chong gai" even crashed just a few minutes after it opened for sale.
Brother Say Hi - Concert Makes a Splash in 2024
According to Google's announcement, "Anh trai say hi" and "Anh trai vu ngan cong gai" are leading search trends in the entertainment field in 2024.
Experts say that the explosion of the two shows "Anh trai vuon ngan cong gai" and "Anh trai say hi" are big boosts, "breaking the ice" of the domestic performing industry, becoming a big surprise for those working in the performing and music industry this year. This is the premise for the development of cultural industries, including the performing industry in Vietnam.
Perfecting the NTBD policy system
According to the report of the Director of the Department of Performing Arts, People's Artist Xuan Bac at the Conference summarizing the tasks of the Performing Arts sector in 2024, during the year, the sector has made efforts to carry out assigned tasks; closely coordinated with the Departments of Culture and Sports, Departments of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and specialized Literature and Arts Associations from the central to local levels to effectively strengthen state management; state management of performing arts and literature activities has gradually become orderly, not only enriching the cultural and spiritual life of the people, but also providing practical and effective support in the country's socio-economic recovery, promoting the building of a healthy cultural environment; art units from the central to local levels, and enterprises with the function of organizing performing arts nationwide strictly implemented Decree No. 144/2020/ND-CP dated December 14, 2020 of the Government; Coordinate well with the Inspectorate of Departments and Inter-sectoral Inspectorate to limit, detect and promptly handle violations; localities strictly implement Conclusion No. 84-KL/TW dated June 21, 2024 of the Politburo on continuing to implement Resolution No. 23-NQ/TW of the 10th Politburo on continuing to build and develop literature and art in the new period.
The first Jazz Festival held in Nha Trang is highly appreciated.
Professional art units have been actively developing new programs, repertoires, and plays to participate in Art Competitions and Festivals organized by the Department of Performing Arts according to the 2025 work plan.
However, Director Xuan Bac pointed out that some of the State's policies for the field of literature and art have not been renewed, such as: The ranking, ranks and promotion mechanism of directors and actors; Special regime for directors and actors regarding salaries; There is no mechanism for training, creating sources and attracting talents and the regime for paying royalties for works and copyrights according to the Copyright Law.
Although the compensation for artists and actors has been improved, it is still low compared to the current situation. The treatment of artists and the current salary level have not attracted a workforce with expertise in the professional arts field.
In 2025, the performing arts sector will continue to implement the Party's policies and the State's laws on the performing arts and literature sector; continue to implement the Government's Directives and Resolutions and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's Projects and Plans on the development of the performing arts and literature sector; effectively carry out and ensure the progress of key tasks assigned by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism in 2025.
