Due to health problems and unable to sing, Tu Suong (left) had to ask her cousin Trinh Trinh to sing backstage so she could lip-sync along to the excerpt from Luong Son Ba - Chuc Anh Dai - Photo: LINH DOAN
In the show celebrating Le Thanh Thao's 35th anniversary of her singing career, Tu Suong was supposed to have important roles to support her sister, but she suddenly fell ill and was helpless.
Tu Suong lip-syncs to Trinh Trinh's voice
Before Le Thanh Thao’s show on the evening of October 18 at Tran Huu Trang Opera House, Tu Suong had a bad cold. Despite trying to take medicine and get injections, her illness did not improve.
She seemed to have lost her voice, her voice was weak and hoarse. Singing was out of the question.
As biological sisters, and often performing together in many current cai luong plays with opposing roles, Tu Suong certainly cannot be absent from Le Thanh Thao's show.
According to the program, Suong appeared in several performances with her sister. The health incident was so sudden that the crew could not handle it.
Therefore, right in the performance of Luong Son Ba - Chuc Anh Dai , Tu Suong apologized to the audience because of the unavoidable situation, so she had to use her voice, but when singing, her cousin Trinh Trinh would support her singing from backstage, while Tu Suong... lip-synced outside.
This is probably the first time many audiences have witnessed an artist performing and lip-syncing to another singer from backstage.

In this performance, Tu Suong plays the role of Luong Son Ba and Le Thanh Thao is Chuc Anh Dai. Tu Suong and Le Thanh Thao's teacher is Bach Long as Tu Cuu. Ngoc Nga, the older sister of Tu Suong and Le Thanh Thao, plays Ngan Tam.
The artists chose the happy parts of the play so Tu Suong did not have to put too much effort into singing and performing the difficult psychological scenes. Teacher Bach Long also took the opportunity to use Tu Suong's health problem to tease the story of Luong Son Ba - Tu Suong lip-syncing.

In addition to this performance, Tu Suong also performed the Thanh Xa - Bach Xa scene with Le Thanh Thao. Tu Suong played the role of Bach Xa and Le Thanh Thao was Thanh Xa.
Because of Tu Suong's condition, the scene exploited the action so that Suong and Thao had the opportunity to show off difficult and attractive dance moves to satisfy the audience.
Binh Tinh - Le Thanh Thao used to be a "stage lovers" couple.
Appearing in the show, artist Binh Tinh said that when she and Le Thanh Thao were still active in the Bach Long Children's Group, they were in the same situation as Tu Suong is now.
At that time, the tickets for the show were sold out. Le Thanh Thao suddenly had a stomachache and could not sing. Unable to return the tickets and cancel the show, Binh Tinh told Le Thanh Thao to try to perform, and she would stand backstage and sing for Thao to lip-sync.
The program Tam Hoa Nghiep To gathers the 4th, 5th and 6th generation artists of the Minh To - Thanh Tong family. Some people wonder why Binh Tinh of the Huynh Long family appears in this show.
It turned out that when Binh Tinh was young, he studied at Bach Long Children's Group. At that time, teacher Bach Long saw that Binh Tinh and Le Thanh Thao were the same age, and were as smart and quick-witted as their seniors, so he took good care of and trained the two children very carefully.
The teacher also let the two children try many different roles to have diverse transformations. "Back then, the teacher let the two of us act together. I was a "man's body" so I often played male roles, Thao played female roles. The two of us have been close friends since we were 9 or 10 years old until now. In the past, because we often acted together, we were also called "stage lovers". Thao and I also joked, calling ourselves husband and wife from then until now" - Binh Tinh confided.

During the performance on the evening of October 18, the two close friends performed the act "The Goddess Offering Five Spirits" . Binh Tinh played the role of Tiet Ung Luong and Le Thanh Thao was the Goddess, a couple of lovers who had some trouble because their mother-in-law was a bit difficult. Acting in this excerpt, they had the opportunity to reminisce about their time as "stage lovers" in Dong Au Bach Long.
The show Tam Hoa Nghiep To also had the participation of seniors, artists Truong Son, Thanh Loan, Cong Minh, Bach Long.
And the next generation of artists such as Xuan Truc, Trinh Trinh, Que Tran, Tu Suong, Ngoc Nga, Dien Trung, Truong Giang, Hoang Chuong, Tu Quyen, Hong Quyen, Kim Thu, Thao Tram, Thao Truc...
