Highlights of the art program 'Sacred Homeland'

On the evening of September 2nd, at Nguyen Hue pedestrian street (District 1), the Ho Chi Minh City Organizing Committee for the commemoration of major holidays held a special art program with the theme "Sacred Fatherland".

This event commemorates the 79th anniversary of the August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2024) and the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2024).

The performance "National Festival" opened the art program.

The suite "August 19th, the August Flag and the Declaration of Independence" was performed by the MTV.SG and Mat Troi Viet dance and music groups.

The art program "Sacred Fatherland" is an epic ballad about love for the homeland, recreating the proud journey of the nation when the country was united. Though the years have passed, the spirit of the Declaration of Independence lives on in the hearts of generations of Vietnamese people, not only because of its historical and legal value, but also because of its lofty humanistic value regarding human rights and the right of the nation to live in independence and freedom, as President Ho Chi Minh cherished and dedicated his entire life to achieving.

A highlight of the show.

With a structure comprising three chapters – “Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom,” “Uncle Ho’s words resounding in all directions,” and “The city named after him shines brightly,” the program takes the audience to a colorful artistic space filled with timeless songs praising the glorious Party, the beloved Uncle Ho, and expressing love for the homeland and country, such as “Footsteps on the Truong Son Mountains,” “Forward, soldiers and compatriots,” “Uncle Ho’s last words,” “The song of unity, marching towards Saigon,” “A tour of Vietnam,” “I love this city,” “Returning to the roots,”…

A spectacular dance performance at the show.

Each performance is meticulously staged, combining music, dance, and modern lighting effects and techniques, featuring artists such as People's Artist Ta Minh Tam, People's Artist Que Tran, Meritorious Artist Pham The Vy, singers Dan Truong, Phuong Thanh, Hien Thuc, Trung Quang... Following the program will be an artistic fireworks display and a Q&A session with performances by singers Dan Truong, Phuong Thanh, Thanh Ngoc...
