A milestone on a new journey of dedication to the nation.
To contribute to this important national holiday, members of the Culture, Sports and Performing Arts Bloc have been practicing diligently and meticulously for weeks, regardless of day or night, rain or shine.
Dr. Tan Nhan, Meritorious Artist and Head of the Vocal Department at the Vietnam National Academy of Music, said that to prepare for the performance, the artists have been diligently practicing and participating in preliminary and final rehearsals since August 26th. Despite the unpredictable weather in Hanoi over the past few days, with alternating rain and sunshine, and the demanding rehearsal schedule, the artists did not feel tired at all. Like all Vietnamese people at this time, their hearts are overflowing with love and pride for their country and their dedication to their craft.
According to Meritorious Artist Tan Nhan, the artistic performances at the Anniversary Celebration showed a significant change in the organizers, creating a connection between artists of different generations, blending various musical genres… bringing a fresh and appealing spirit to the public, while clearly conveying the program's message of unity and solidarity. Recently, national concerts as well as political art programs have been actively developing in this direction, creating a transformation that is in line with the times and is very well received by the public, contributing to the development of a more diverse, rich, and attractive music and performance market.
As the unit responsible for connecting and organizing key cultural and performing arts activities commemorating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2nd, People's Artist Xuan Bac, Director of the Department of Performing Arts (Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism), stated: “The participation of artists is not only significant in a major event, but also an opportunity to educate about traditions and spread positive values. Everyone mentions A80 with pride and deep gratitude. As artists – people with influence – we are even more aware of our responsibility in spreading these positive values.”
The participation of artists in activities commemorating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2nd is a historical milestone, not only in the careers of each individual, but also in the flow of Vietnamese art.
The songs, dances, and music that resounded in Ba Dinh Square on the morning of September 2nd became a bridge connecting the glorious past with the brilliant present, igniting pride and responsibility in each artist as well as in the hearts of millions of viewers.
From that honor, artists and writers become even more aware of their mission, not only to create and perform, but also to contribute to preserving and passing on traditions and spreading the aspiration to build a prosperous and powerful nation. This is a lasting value, a "spiritual legacy" that A80 leaves behind for Vietnamese culture and art on its new journey - a journey of faith and dedication to the Fatherland.
