Phát sóng chương trình — Artists celebrate the 10th birthday of "Artists and the Stage"

Ten years ago, in a small room of HTV, the first steps of the program "Artists and the stage" were gently placed down. No noisy drums, no flashy lights, just a very simple wish: to preserve the quiet breath of the stage, of art, in the midst of the bustling modern flow.

Today, at the threshold of that ten-year anniversary, "Artists and Stage" is no longer just a program. It has become a part of the memories of those in the profession, a very warm corner in the hearts of art-loving audiences and is looking forward to turning 11 with many programs expanding the fields of culture and art nationwide.

Born on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Liberation of the South (April 30, 2015), "Artists and the Stage" not only talks with artists, but also listens and shares their thoughts and concerns. There, people see stage artists diligently sticking to the stage in a time when the spotlight seems to favor new entertainment trends more.

The audience met amateur musicians, circus artists, magicians, and reformed opera artists... people who seem quiet, but have an unshakable love for their profession.

The program has also introduced the Mai Vang Award of Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper many times over its 30-year journey, and is also a companion channel for competitions: Tran Huu Trang, Bong Lua Vang, festivals, professional theater, circus, and magic shows nationwide. In particular, this is a companion channel to promote the Golden Bell of Traditional Music and Ngan Mai Golden Bell of HTV.

Over 680 episodes, the program has opened the backstage door more than 680 times – where artistic dreams are nurtured with sweat and tears. There, the audience is not only entertained, but also awakened, reminded of an indispensable part of Vietnamese culture.

On April 17, 2025, at HTV, "Artists and Stage" held an emotional exchange and exhibition to celebrate its 10th anniversary. More than 100 photos - each one telling a story - were displayed, like footprints deeply imprinted on that enduring journey.

In that space, when People's Artist Kim Cuong respectfully presented the medal with the image of the late People's Artist Bay Nam to Master, journalist, and director Thanh Hiep, people saw a flow of love flowing through generations of artists. It was not only a reward, but also a message: keep going, even though there are many challenges ahead.

The presence of famous names such as People's Artist Kim Xuan, People's Artist Hong Van, Meritorious Artist Quoc Thao, composer Hoang Song Viet, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Yen Chi, and representatives of the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee such as Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Diem further affirmed that: true art always has a place in people's hearts.

Sharing at the event, Associate Professor Dr. Tran Yen Chi assessed that the program has contributed to enriching the field of art theory and criticism, helping the public not only enjoy but also understand more about the creative work of artists.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Diem - Deputy Head of the Department of Science, Culture and Arts, Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Department of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee - hopes that "Artists and the Stage" will continue to innovate and refresh its content to bring art closer to young people, extending the bond between artists and the public in the digital age.

For ten years, "Artists and Stage" has not only kept the fire burning for itself, but also passed it on to countless hearts that love art. And that fire, with all the love, trust and respect, will surely continue to burn brightly - on every stage, every story of art and culture in Ho Chi Minh City and the whole country.
