Paying tribute to the late composer Tran Huu Trang

A night of exchange and gratitude to the late composer Tran Huu Trang and the succeeding generations of artists took place on the evening of October 20, at the Ho Chi Minh City Youth Cultural House.

This is an activity within the series of events "Ho Chi Minh City Literature and Arts Days" 2025 organized by Tran Huu Trang Opera House. Here, the audience will be able to live with the classic characters in the famous excerpts "Mong Hoa Vuong" and "Doi Co Luu" - two works that represent the realistic and humanistic writing style of the late composer Tran Huu Trang.

If "Mong Hoa Vuong" is a tragic tale about human fate in the vortex of power and love, then "Doi Co Luu" performed by artists Phung Ngoc Bay, Kim Luan and Diem Kieu makes viewers moved with the story of a woman who suffers a lot but is full of forgiveness.

The program introduces to the audience the portrait of Tran Huu Trang - a former barber who became a great playwright, author of nearly 30 classic scripts, from: "Red Fire of the Son Heart", "Artist's Soul", "Lan and Diep", "To Anh Nguyet" to "Doi Co Luu". His works reflect social reality and touch people's conscience, contributing to shaping the language and aesthetics of Vietnamese reformed theater in the 20th century.
