A Golden Bell season marks a glorious 20-year milestone
Director Nguyen Minh Hai - Head of HTV's Arts Department - said that the 20th Golden Bell of Traditional Music will have many new improvements in the organization, including the series of programs "Thanh am phu sa" held in many areas of Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and the Western provinces. In addition, there are Companion programs organized for contestants to participate in social activities, volunteer activities and remember the source of water.
As one of the oldest and most prestigious television art playgrounds for young people with a passion for reformed opera, Golden Bell of Traditional Opera 2025 this year marks 20 years of the journey of keeping the fire burning and discovering talent.
HTV's "Thanh am phu sa" program attracted a large audience.
Previously, HTV organized the program series "Thanh am phu sa" as a meaningful pre-event journey. The program brought cai luong and don ca tai tu back to the community, spreading traditional cultural values to new generations of audiences, with the participation of many artists who had won the Golden Bell of vọng cổ award.
At the same time, the series of activities of the program "Artists and Stage" has connected the competition with the current artistic life, through exchange programs with the participation of famous Southern Amateur Music Clubs in Ho Chi Minh City. Since then, the image of Golden Bell Vong Co has become closer, arousing the love and expectation of the public for the 20th season.
July 20: When reformed opera blends with the rhythm of life
In order to bring real experiences and increase emotional depth for contestants, HTV will organize two special exchanges on July 20, creating a cultural bridge between reformed opera and contemporary social life.
Prestigious artists and musicians have always accompanied Golden Bell for the past 20 years.
Exchange with soldiers of Naval Region 2 – Imbued with military-civilian ties and traditional music . 16 contestants in group 1 will have the opportunity to participate in an exchange program with soldiers of Naval Region 2.
Here, they not only learn about the work and duties of soldiers who are day and night protecting the sovereignty of the sea and islands, but also participate in daily activities such as cooking, tending plants, watering vegetables, and afternoon exercises, helping candidates have a closer look at military life.
The highlight of the exchange was the intimate dinner and the cultural program in the hall, where cải lương – the art of the people – blended with the spirit of the marine soldiers.
This is an opportunity for candidates to feel more clearly the enduring vitality and spread of reformed opera in the lives of soldiers today.
Golden Bell is a place to nurture young talent
Exchange with students of Binh Duong University – Cai Luong comes to the young generation. Also on July 20, group 2 including the remaining 16 contestants will participate in the exchange program with students at Binh Duong University Hall.
The youthful and vibrant atmosphere will spread from the opening dance and singing performance of the students to the cultural exchange - quiz minigame about the reformed theater, the names, plays and melodies that have become the spiritual heritage of the nation.
Candidate Ly Trung Cuong
The contestants will present gifts to students who have overcome difficulties, spread the spirit of sharing and encourage the younger generation to preserve and explore traditional cultural values through reformed opera.
Contestant Ly Trung Cuong shared: "The competition is always a place that gives me many valuable lessons to learn and overcome challenges."
The series of accompanying activities within the framework of Golden Bell of Traditional Music 2025 shows HTV's increasingly innovative and practical direction in organizing a playground that both maintains traditional values and expands the space for cultural and social exchange.
With 32 powerful candidates entering the Selection round, Golden Bell of Traditional Opera 2025 promises to be a season of brilliant voices, touching stories and especially new steps in the 20-year journey of keeping the fire of reformed opera alive.
