HA NOI — Funds raised by the Am Tinh Nghe Sy (Artist’s Affection) art show reached VND500 million (over $22,000), according to the show’s organisers.
Jointly organised by the theatre artists’ club, Viet Nam Stage Artists’ Association and Dong Do Company, the event aims to raise funds to support and pay tribute to veteran Vietnamese artists, who have made significant contributions to the development of the nation’s theatre, but suffer economic or other hardship.
Opening the show, the organisation department presented gifts to artists with difficulties, such as those who had accidents while acting, including people’s artists Tran Tien, Dam Lien, Linh Duoc, and Ngo Tuyet Hoan.
Under the direction of artist Nguyen Viet Thanh, Am Tinh Nghe Sy is a night show featuring the figures of the artists reappearing in extracts of cheo (traditional operetta), cai luong (reformed theatre), comedies set to modern songs.
According to Vuong Duy Bien, deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Am Tinh Nghe Sy creates opportunities for the artists to get close to each other and for the audience to understand them. — VNS
