Vo Minh Lam plays the old man, Tu Suong pretends to be a man in 'The Great Viet Painting'

The Minh To reformed opera family has had many memorable plays, including the play 'The Great Viet Map' that helped make the names of artists Thanh Tong and Vu Linh shine.

Today, Dai Viet theater of producer Hoang Song Viet restores Dai Viet's Painting to celebrate 100 years of the Minh To family's singing career.

The Dai Viet Map (authors Ha Van Cau - Loan Thao - Thanh Tong) praises the Five Tiger Generals of Tran Hung Dao in the war against the Yuan-Mongol army, in which Nguyen Dia Lo is the main character, and his son Nguyen Phuc creates a dramatic and extremely attractive scene.

A handsome actor plays the old man.

When Vu Linh was a young and beautiful actor and the theater troupe needed a new script, artist Thanh Tong showed Vu Linh the book "The Great Viet Map" and asked him to play the role of Nguyen Dia Lo. He jumped up and said, "Oh my God, why are you giving me the role of an old man?" Thanh Tong encouraged him, "Trust me. This role is great, I guarantee you will be famous." Vu Linh read the script carefully and... agreed, but was still worried. But Vu Linh's personality was that when he was on stage, he would give it his all, just as director Hoa Ha said.

So the movie "The Great Viet Map" was a resounding success, Nguyen Dia Lo became the role of a lifetime for Vu Linh. Later, People's Artist Thanh Tong and Meritorious Artist Truong Son played the role of Nguyen Dia Lo and also won the hearts of the audience.

Now it is Meritorious Artist Vo Minh Lam's turn to be chosen by Meritorious Artist director Hoa Ha for the role of Nguyen Dia Lo in the new version, which will be performed on October 11 at Tran Huu Trang Theater, Ho Chi Minh City. Vo Minh Lam is also one of the most famous young and handsome actors today, if he is given the role of an old man, will it be a disadvantage?

Lam said: "I think this is a valuable opportunity for me to test my skills. Difficult and diverse roles will help artists practice very well, not being confined to a certain form". In fact, Vo Minh Lam has tried his hand at two old roles, Ly Thuong Kiet ( The Poem of the Horse Saddle ) and Mr. Bay Don ( The Man on the Edge of the City ), it seems that he did not dislike either role, and completed both roles excellently.

Director Hoa Ha always has a keen eye, putting artists in the right position to shine.

Dressing as a man is not difficult for Meritorious Artist Tu Suong

But then, People's Artist Que Tran will lack a compatible co-star who often plays with her. In this play, Que Tran plays Bao Tram, wife of Nguyen Phuc, daughter-in-law of Nguyen Dia Lo. So who should be chosen to play the role of Nguyen Phuc, a character with a lot of psychological weight and not light acting skills? In the end, Meritorious Artist Tu Suong is the best candidate.

Tu Suong is famous for being a versatile actress, excellent at literary roles, martial arts roles, male roles, and female roles. She is especially good at playing male roles, even better than male artists, sometimes even guiding male artists in difficult roles. Tu Suong and Que Tran are real sisters, and have acted together many times, so they are very compatible.

Recently, they participated in the play Cau Tho Yen Ngua , also belonging to the Minh To family, in which Que Tran played the role of Queen Mother Y Lan, and Tu Suong played the role of Queen Thuong Duong, two people who were opposites in the forbidden palace. Now in return, they will "love each other" in Buc Ngon Do Dai Viet . But most people believe in the talent of these two female artists, because they have proven it through many difficult roles over the past decades.

The Dai Viet Map creates opportunities for young actors

The play features many artists of the Minh To family such as Thanh Son, Dien Trung, Thanh Thao, in addition to other artists such as Minh Truong, Nha Thy, Kim Ngan, Pham Vu Thanh, Lam Minh Nghiem... all of whom are very familiar to the audience.

Director Meritorious Artist Hoa Ha said: "I will be quite creative in this production so that you can prove your youth, freshness, and overcome the difficult techniques of the profession. I have worked with you a lot and see that you are very talented today, just need the opportunity to progress and shine."
