Speaking at the ceremony, Meritorious Artist Thanh Hien, Director of Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre, said that the theatre has not only become an increasingly attractive destination for domestic and international tourists, but also contributed to promoting and making a deep impression on the unique traditional art of Vietnamese water puppetry to audiences in more than 40 countries around the world.
Up to now, the theatre has performed continuously, 365 days a year, becoming the leading brand in Vietnamese water puppetry.
According to Do Dinh Hong, Director of Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports, Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre is one of the most successful traditional art units in Hanoi, leaving a deep impression on audiences while contributing to promoting traditional water puppetry in particular and the image of the country and people of Vietnam in general.
The Director of Hanoi Department of Culture and Sports suggested that in the coming time, cadres, civil servants, and employees of Thang Long Water Puppetry Theatre and the city's culture and sports sector need to work together to continue the tradition and successfully carry out the 2025 political tasks of the City Party Committee, People's Council, and People's Committee in general.
