(CLO) After 9 exciting days (from November 1-9), the 2024 Hanoi Open Theatre Festival, which gathered 12 theaters and 12 outstanding plays, ended with resounding success.

Theater representatives received Gold medals for the plays.

Speaking at the closing ceremony, Mr. Pham Xuan Tai, Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports , emphasized that each play at the festival had been seriously invested in, elaborately staged, full of creativity and high artistic quality. These theatrical stories not only brought the audience back to the glorious past but also aroused patriotism and national pride.

The plays recreated history through the lens of art, creating deep emotions for the capital's audience.

The Chairman of the Jury, writer Ha Dinh Can, also shared his joy at the development of the stage. The passionate love for the profession of the artists, especially the innovation of the younger generation, has helped the stage become more attractive and closer to the audience.

The actors were awarded Gold medals.

The work won a total of six medals and one outstanding individual award, including four Gold Medals and two Silver Medals, as well as the Best Screenplay Award.

With a series of awards presented to actors, directors, scriptwriters and many other artists, the 2024 Hanoi Open Theatre Festival not only honors artistic talent but also contributes to rekindling the strong vitality of Vietnamese theatre in the hearts of the public.
