Hanoi (VNA) – Talented artists from the Vietnam National Drama Theatre will perform Hamlet at Singapore’s Victoria Theatre𓃲 and Concert Hall on Marcღh 25, said Nguyen The Vinh, the theatre director.
Singapore is the first destination in the theatre’s world tour in response to the 2016 World Shakespeare Congress to mark 400 years of popular, artistic and scholarly enthusiasm for Shakespeare’s life and work, Vinh said.
He added that aside from delivering stellar performance at Singapore’s oldest performing arts venue, the artists will work with Vietnamese students studying in the host country on March 26.
While there are a number of versions of Hamlet around the world, this version focuses on the fierce fight against crime.
The theatre began preparing Hamlet in 2015 and premiered a few months ago. Actors will perform in Vietnamese with English subtitles.
Recently, the theatre started setting up two other dramas: “Thay va tro” (Teacher and Students), which will make positive contributions to the education sector; and “Biet doi Bao den” (Black Panther Detachment), which tells the stories of soldiers struggling during war and peace.
In addition, Truyen Kieu (Tale of Kieu) will be transformed into an opera by the theatre this year.-VNA
Vietnam should publish books, video of tuong (classic drama), and host forums, talks, symposiums and shows at schools for students in order to preserve and promote traditional theatre.
The Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications and the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) of the Republic of Korea (RoK) have agreed to cooperate in-depth in the television field.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
The event formed part of Vietnam’s ongoing campaign to seek UNESCO World Heritage status for the complex at the 47th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, scheduled to take place in Paris in July.
Creative cultural festivals are fast emerging as a new catalyst for tourism development in Vietnam, as localities increasingly invest in these vibrant events on a more systematic and larger scale.
This marks the first time Vietnam has hosted a continental-level Muay event which will feature competitions across 28 weight categories in combat and eight performance categories.
Coming to the Vietnamese booth, visitors had the chance to take part in a bamboo dance, a workshop on painting woven bamboo or rattan, or quizzes about Vietnam.
These are impressive achievements, not only showing the efforts and prowess of Vietnamese paddlers but also serving as proof of the sports sector’s strategic and systematic investment.
The cultural event in Canberra not only fostered cultural exchanges between Vietnam and Australia but also contributed to promoting Vietnam’s image internationally
The U23 competition will run from June 16 to 22, followed by the U17 event from June 23 to 28, while athletes competing in the U23 category will undergo weight and skill checks ahead of the matches starting June 18, while similar checks for U17 athletes will take place before June 23.
Vietnam continues to sit just behind continental powerhouses Japan, the Republic of Korea, Australia, China, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The event served as a vibrant display of solidarity, promoting peace, cooperation, and development through cultural dialogue, and reaffirmed HCM City's role as a dynamic hub for cultural diplomacy and international friendship.
The Indian Film Festival not only honours the artistic value of cinema but also contributes to strengthening the friendship and enhancing cultural exchange between the people of Son La in particular and Vietnam in general and India.
An art exchange programme between Vietnam and Cambodia was held on the evening of June 13 in the Mekong Delta province of Vinh Long as part of the 2025 Cambodia Culture Week in Vietnam.
Digitalisation does not mean commercialisation or oversimplification of culture. It is a way of selecting, adapting, and spreading traditional values through a modern language.
The 11th edition is expected to serve as a vital channel for conveying Vietnam’s development message to the international community, and represent a milestone in the implementation of the Politburo’s Conclusion No. 57 on continuing to improve the quality and efficiency of external information service in the new situation.
