Why Vietnam National Tuong Theatre is special ?

Founded in 1959, the Vietnam National Tuong Theatre's forerunner is the national northern Tuong troupe. When the theatre first opened it had only 19 artists and other employees. Now its staffing has increased to almost more than 120.

Having acknowledged that Tuong is something very important for many Vietnamese people, the theatre has been greatly contributing to preserving this kind of traditional art while constructing and performing numerous plays featuring different styles of Tuong, both traditional and modern.

The theatre offers performances across Vietnam and in foreign countries like France, Germany, USA, the former Soviet Union, Spain, the Republic of Korea and Japan, with these performances attracting a large number of spectators.

Tuong is a style of theatre that was, in its time, very high brow and was considered imperial theatre. Some of the folk stories are very funny, and the lack of props requires audience imagination. The performances here are first rate (you will be in awe when you see the woman transform into a fox in one vignette). The tragedy here is that there are few people who attend the performances as Tuong is a theatrical form that little interests the young. The price of admission is cheap ($5) and it is well worth the hour of entertainment.
