“Musical Seasons” 2024-2025 helps Hanoi develop its goal of becoming a Music City

Conductor Honna Tetsuji was extremely excited. He said that the world- class concert event helped Hanoi move closer to its cultural industry goals.

This is the opening concert for the international art program series “Musical Seasons” 2024-2025, bringing top-notch music closer to the public of the capital in particular and Vietnam in general, through famous international artists around the world. Not only the audience but also the performing artists in the art world are excited about this event.

“ Hanoi audiences are very lucky to fully enjoy one of the world's classic works - The Four Seasons.

I was extremely excited when I heard that the “Four Seasons Concert” would take place at the Hoan Kiem Theater. I always believe that one day soon Hanoi will completely become a great music city because I can feel the love for music from the audiences in the capital or even from audiences all over Vietnam. The Four Seasons Concert taking place on April 21-22 will be one of the most wonderful things when having the opportunity to enjoy a program of world-class artistic quality right in Hanoi” - Conductor Honna Tetsuji expressed.

According to Conductor Dong Quang Vinh: The appearance of the international art program series "Musical Seasons 2024 - 2025" is a very welcome signal!
Bringing classic works to Vietnam for performance is a very good thing because it is a general trend in the world. Just look at the developed countries a little bit ahead of us such as: America, Japan, Korea, China... they invest a lot in academic arts.

Classic works such as: “Carmen”, “The Four Seasons”, “The Nutcracker”, “Swan Lake”… are performed many times a year and audiences buy tickets enthusiastically, almost not wanting to miss any show. In Vietnam, these works have been performed less frequently than in other countries, but each time they are performed, tickets are sold out.

From the perspective of the organizing unit, People's Artist Nguyen Cong Bay - Director of Ho Guom Theater expressed: "Choosing a program suitable to the tastes of Vietnamese audiences.

Ho Guom Theater is always ready to open its doors to welcome international theaters to perform here. We have proactively built a plan to have the best international products such as: Symphony Orchestra of the Royal Opera of Versailles, Vienna Chamber Orchestra... Some other countries have also expressed their desire to cooperate with Ho Guom Theater to perform here. We want to use this opportunity to create opportunities for the Theater to integrate with the international community, not just in Vietnam, because international audiences may buy tickets to Hanoi to watch the performance.
Previously, we also welcomed Kenny G to perform at the Opera House and received positive feedback from the international team. In particular, after being ranked in the top 10 best opera houses in the world, we also received many offers of cooperation from international artists, orchestras and theaters. We have been working with international orchestras for the next year and will start with the suite “Four Seasons” from the Symphony Orchestra of the Royal Opera House of Versailles.
