The event was held exclusively for Techcombank Private customers - those who have contributed greatly to the bank's development and are accompanying the bank on its journey to create sustainable prosperity for many generations.

Carmen – Georges Bizet's opera first performed in Paris in 1875 – has been restored in its original form, with an entire artistic crew of 150 artists, directors, conductors and technical staff from three of Europe's leading opera houses: the Royal Theatre of Versailles, the Rouen Normandy Opera House and the Palazzetto Bru Zane French Romantic Music Center.

With a duration of nearly 180 minutes, along with meticulous investment in costumes and settings, Carmen has brought to the capital's audience the most interesting and complete experiences of the 19th century European classical art space in the heart of Hanoi.

All of this creates a top-notch stage space with careful investment, including 70 tons of equipment, costumes, and props transported from France, along with more than 12,000 artistically arranged roses, creating a luxurious and poetic setting - true to the spirit of an art night reserved for the elite - those who possess refined taste and a different lifestyle.

The event was not only a top-notch art performance, but also a profound gratitude from Techcombank to Techcombank Private customers – those who have been closely accompanying the bank on the journey of managing assets and creating sustainable prosperity. These are not only financially successful individuals, but also representatives of civilized living values, bravery and knowing how to cherish spiritual heritage.

Ms. Nguyen Van Linh, Deputy Director of Techcombank Retail Banking, shared: "Following the success of top art programs such as "The Seasons Ballet" and "Golden Imprint" which gathered leading Vietnamese artists, this year, Techcombank continues to bring the original opera Carmen to perform domestically. Carmen is not only a top art event, but also represents timeless values ​​that Techcombank always wants to spread and accompany its customers. This event once again affirms the commitment to customer care, personalized experiences and outstanding wealth management services - all to honor the values ​​of Techcombank Private customers and continue the development journey so that "values ​​grow and flourish beyond time".

With a duration of nearly 3 hours, the Ho Guom Theater auditorium is immersed in the European art space of the 19th century. Immortal melodies such as “Habanera” or “Toreador Song” resounding from the French classical orchestra take the audience through a range of emotions, led by excellent voices and sophisticated staging by leading artists.

With their strong vitality, rhythm, melody, music and skillful “storytelling”, the artists from three leading European theaters “held” the capital’s audience until the last moments of the two nights of performances. The audience carried away many different emotions and impressions from the realistic, expressive acting and the delicate singing that clearly expressed the personality of each character.

An international guest shared: “I have enjoyed Carmen in Europe, but tonight in Hanoi is a special experience. From the space, music to the organization, everything shows a rare sophistication and class, not inferior to when enjoying at the big theaters in the world. This is the second time I have been to Ho Guom Theater and I think the decoration today is more beautiful than all the times I have been. With the design of thousands of roses decorating right from the lobby outside the theater, it shows the meticulousness and class that the program brings to the audience in the capital.”

As the first country in Southeast Asia and the second Asian country to bring the original Carmen to the domestic art stage, Techcombank has contributed to enhancing the appearance and position of Vietnam on the Asian art map. Along with that is a unique and skillful direction of the bank when affirming that Techcombank is getting closer to international standards through events associated with world cultural heritage over the past time.

The two shows officially concluded Techcombank’s journey of bringing the 150-year-old masterpiece Carmen to the public and connoisseurs of the country. At the same time, it will also open up new opportunities on the journey of continuing the legacy – just like the way Techcombank is always present beside customers on the path of creating timeless values.
