Piano – Tuong “Fire” by Pho An My and Dang Tue Nguyen
8 pm, November 29
Hanoi Opera House
1 Trang Tien street, Hoan Kiem district
The beauty and philosophical depth of Tuong (traditional opera) has once again given pianist Pho An My and composer Dang Tue Nguyen inspiration for a new and unique creative collaboration: a “post-contemporary” work of chamber music written for the piano using the musical language and the dramaturgical materials of Tuong, in which a modern instrument - the piano, and an ancient art - Tuong, exist in parallel and independently, but at the same time complement and interact with each other.
Ticket prices: VND 500,000 - VND 800. 000 - VND 1 million
