Meritorious Artist Kim Tieu Long brings reformed opera and humanity to the North

(NLDO) - Two sublime and emotional performances in the North have given Meritorious Artist Kim Tieu Long a lot of motivation to pursue his career.

Meritorious Artist Kim Tieu Long received the public's affection for him in Hanoi on the evening of October 12.

On the evening of October 11 and 12, Meritorious Artist Kim Tieu Long left a deep impression in the hearts of Northern audiences through two performances at Opus Convention tea rooms ( Hai Phong ) and Skyline (Hanoi).

Both Kim Tieu Long shows were sold out.

Both nights were sold out, the auditorium filled with applause and long standing ovations.

A special highlight of the program is the excerpt from the reformed opera "Han Mac Tu" - one of the roles associated with Kim Tieu Long's name, performed by him with singer Khanh An, daughter of People's Artist Nguyen Manh Hung and grandson of People's Artist Nguyen Thanh Tung - two veteran artists of the Northern reformed opera stage.

The combination of two generations of artists created a sublime performance, a harmony between emotion and technique, moving the audience to tears.

To stand on stage with the descendants of my predecessors – those who have contributed to the development of Cai Luong – is a great happiness for me. I thank My Hanh – an audience member who loves the artist and organized these two performances."

Singer Tuan Vu received the love of the Northern audience.

In Hanoi, many elderly audiences were moved to share: "Kim Tieu Long's voice is both rustic and profound. When he sings vọng cổ among bolero songs, the whole space seems to quiet down, it is an emotion that only cải lương can bring."
