Artist Minh Canh's first live show in Vietnam

Artist Minh Canh is 86 years old this year, his career developed during the most prosperous period of reformed opera, along with the "golden generation" such as Ut Tra On, Ut Bach Lan, Thanh Nga, Thanh Sang, Phuong Lien, My Chau, Le Thuy, Bach Tuyet, Ngoc Giau, Minh Vuong, Minh Phung...

Artist Minh Canh when he was young...

Minh Canh immigrated to the US in 2005, and occasionally he sang for temples or at shows organized by familiar artists. But recently, the news of the passing of People's Artist Diep Lang and Meritorious Artist Vu Linh shocked him, and he decided to participate in the program Talents of Vietnam by the young "manager" Gia Bao. Minh Canh has never organized a live show for himself, so this time Gia Bao is very happy and will invest a lot to be worthy of his name.

...and now

The main act of the program is the 2-hour long opera Bao Cong investigates Quach Hoe , directed by artist Chi Linh. This is a famous play by Minh Canh, but in the past it was only recorded on tape for about 90 minutes and not staged on stage. Now, the production team will have to add some "flowers and leaves" so that the artists have space to perform, of course still not straying too far from the original.

The artists participating were supposed to be Minh Canh's old friends, but now many of them are old, or in poor health, or in seclusion, so Gia Bao invited more artists from the next generation, but all of them are very good at their profession. For example, Meritorious Artist Phuong Loan, Meritorious Artist Trong Phuc, Thanh Hang, Chi Linh, Van Ha, Bich Hanh, Vo Minh Lam, Tieu Bao Quoc, Bao Tri, Nha Thy...

In addition, there will also be a very famous scene of Luu Binh - Duong Le performed by Minh Canh - Thanh Tuan - Ngoc Huyen; and some vọng cổ songs with the participation of People's Artist Minh Vuong, Meritorious Artist Kim Tu Long...

The show will take place on the night of July 15 at Ben Thanh Theater, Ho Chi Minh City, with ticket prices ranging from 400,000 VND to 2 million VND. Gia Bao said that many audiences from Australia, the US, and Canada called to book tickets, saying they would return home this summer and go see it. The most touching were the students, workers, and motorbike taxi drivers who "deposited" 100,000 VND and asked to "owe" the rest, and would transfer the rest when they received their salaries in a few days, because they loved Minh Canh so much that they absolutely had to go see it. Gia Bao further revealed: "I am very happy because this time the number of young audiences has increased a lot, proving that Cai Luong is still loved."
