Book launch about 50 years of Ho Chi Minh City's reformed theater

The book includes 81 articles by more than 50 authors who are researchers, artists, directors, and critics - people who have lived and created with Cai Luong through many periods, organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Theater Association, with co-editors of People's Artist Tran Minh Ngoc and People's Artist Tran Ngoc Giau.

Speaking at the event, People's Artist Tran Ngoc Giau shared: "This is a collective work, the passion of an artist's entire life, of those who work and love the profession. We wish to promptly record the milestones, the silent and resounding contributions of Ho Chi Minh City's reformed opera artists, so that future generations can inherit and develop."

People's Artist Tran Minh Ngoc also expressed his emotion when writing a book about Cai Luong for the first time, despite coming from spoken drama: "This book is not only a document, but also the life of Cai Luong art, told through the emotions and attachment of many artists both domestically and overseas."

In addition, guests such as Associate Professor Dr. Huynh Quoc Thang, Director Ton That Can, Meritorious Artist Ca Le Hong, Dr. Mai My Duyen... also shared emotional and professional insights, highlighting the inheritance, creativity and potential of Cai Luong in the contemporary cultural space.

According to many experts, this is a systematic and in-depth work, not only serving the needs of research and study, but also contributing to connecting generations - between veteran artists and young people who are engaged in the art of reformed opera.
