HCMC Premier – Opera Carmen
08 and 09 Nov 2015, 8 pm
HCMC Opera House
No. 7 Lam Son Square, D.1, HCMC
Georges Bizet’s opera CARMEN is one the most famous, successful and most performed operas in history. The libretto was written by Henri Meilhac and Ludovic Halévy based on the Prosper Mérimée’s novel of the same name.
Opera CARMEN will be performed at the Ho Chi Minh City Opera House on November 8th and 9th, 2015. Being a featured program in the 2015 performing season, the production is a great effort from HBSO. Leading the premiere performance is the French Maestro Patrick Souillot. The performance will also feature French opera artists Sophie Leleu and Olivier Trommenschlager in the roles of Carmen and Don Jose, respectively.
As HBSO has done with Mozart’s THE MAGIC FLUTE, the Ho Chi Minh City premiere of CARMEN will be presented in concert, with its emphasis on the musical aspect of the piece.
Performers in the production also include HBSO’s best opera artists such as Cho Hae Ryong, Mer. A. Tran Hong Vy, Pham Duyen Huyen, Pham Khanh Ngoc, Nguyen Thu Huong, Vo Nguyen Thanh Tam, Dao Mac, Phan Huu Trung Kiet… and the HBSO Choir and Symphony Orchestra.
This year, 2015, marks the 140th anniversary of the CARMEN’s debut as well as the 140th death anniversary of Georges Bizet, the opera’s composer. Bizet passed away suddenly 3 months after the debut of CARMEN and never got to experience its popularity and great success of the work. In 1938, on the celebration of Bizet’s 100th birthday, the Opéra-Comique theatre had had 2,271 performances of the opera. The work has enjoyed countless productions around the world and has inspired other works such as ballet, film, music suite…

Concert “Ludwig van Beethoven” at Goethe Institut in November
07 and 08 Nov 2015, 8 pm
Goethe-Institut Hanoi
56-58 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Ba Dinh, Hanoi
This year, on the 245th birthday of the composer Ludwig van Beethoven, the Goethe-Institut presents a four-part concert series at the Goethe-Institut Hanoi. The ten sonatas for violin and piano will be performed by the renowned musicians Nguyen My Huong and Dao Trong Tuyen.
On 7 and 8 November, the audience can enjoy three sonatas, including Sonata No. 5, which is widely known as the “Spring Sonata” due to its cheerful and hopeful mood.
However, it wasn’t Beethoven himself who came up with this name. In fact, his life was everything but easy when he finished the sonata in 1801: Beethoven had just found out that his hearing troubles were no temporary problem, but that he would go deaf. Other works which he composed during this time resonate his fear and despair about his fate.
Beethoven has brought the Classical form to its highest expressive level and he is considered as a pioneer of Romanticism. With his sonatas for violin, composed between 1797 and 1812, he was following his role model Mozart, who recognized the violin as an equal partner for the piano for the first time. Furthermore, Beethoven’s sonata are known for their unconventional modulations and rhythms, which first shocked the audience, but after a while it was seen as the own course of the great classic composer.
Around 200 years later you can experience this complete exceptional music cycle for the first time in Hanoi – an exceedingly occasion for lovers of music.
PROGRAM
– Sonata No. 1 in D major, Opus 12
– Sonata No. 3 in E-flat major, Opus 12
– Sonata No. 5 in F major, Opus 24
Nguyen My Huong studied at Hanoi Art School, Vietnam National Academy of Music with Professor Ngo Van Thanh as well as at the University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz with Professor Thomas Zehetmair. Among other prices she has been awarded with the “Youth Talent Award”. As a member of the Asian Youth Orchestra and the PMF Orchestra she played many concerts abroad and also took part in training courses in Japan, China, Germany, Austria and the USA. Currently, Nguyen My Huong works as a soloist in chamber music concerts with Vietnamese and foreign counterparts. She is second violin principal in the National Symphony Orchestra and teaches at the Vietnam National Academy of Music. Moreover, she has received an offer to be concertmaster in Hanoi Philharmonic Orchestra.
Dao Trong Tuyen studied with several prestigious piano teachers such as Hoang Vinh Huong, Hoang Hoa, Joel Pasquier, Professor Tran Thu Ha and Professor Đặng Thái Sơn. In 2007, he completed his Doctorate of Music in Piano Performance at the University of Montreal in Canada. Dao Trong Tuyen won the first prize in the National piano competition in 1990 and he has played concerts in Canada, France and Japan. He has recorded a large number of works for Vietnam National Television and Vietnam National Radio. He has also performed as a soloist with major orchestras in Vietnam such as Vietnam National Symphony Orchestra, Hanoi Philharmonic Orchestra and Vietnam National Opera and Ballet Orchestra.
At present, Dao Trong Tuyen is a piano teacher at the Vietnam National Academy of Music.
Due to the limited number of seats we kindly ask only visitors from the age of 12 and up to come.
Free tickets for 07.11.2015 and the additional concert on 08.11.2015 are available from Monday 02. November, 9 am at Goethe-Institut Hanoi.

“The Canterville Ghost” in Vietnam
Adapted from Oscar Wilde’s story
By Paul Stebbings and Phil Smith
Music: Paul Flush
Director: Paul Stebbings
Producer: Grantly Marshall

HCMC: Thu 05 Nov 2015, 11 am
HCMC Conservatory of Music
In autumn 2015 we revive one of the company’s most popular productions for a tour of over twenty countries in Europe and Asia. “THE CANTERVILLE GHOST” is an enigmatic masterpiece from one of the greatest story tellers ever to set pen to paper: Oscar Wilde. Being Wilde this is a piece of razor sharp wit, vicious satire and imagery that is both Gothic and lyrical. TNT brings out the full complexity of the story, a story that is wrongly labelled as solely for the young. And of course we update the satire as Wilde was nothing if not contemporary (he seldom sets his work in the past).
The story is set in an English castle whose aristocratic owner, Lord Canterville, has put up for sale as he is as broke as he is noble. The resident crows object to this as strongly as the resident Ghost (the wife murderer Sir Simon de Canterville). A brash and wealthy American family arrives to take possession of the castle: a cowgirl mom, a seemingly sweet daughter Virginia and her vile brother Washington. The Ghost does all he can to frighten the Americans away, but in the end it is the Duke who turns the tables by falling in love with Virginia. But first Virginia must learn a lesson or two from Sir Simon – if she is to have a Ghost of a chance…
TNT’s version has delighted audiences since 1997, from Shanghai to London and Munich to Tokyo. The combination of dynamic physical theatre, dance, comedy, masks, satire, audience participation and startling imagery grips young and old alike. The whole is complimented by Paul Flush’s musical score and a host of foot tapping songs plus a ballad or two to mix laughter with tears (or at least romance). TNT theatre and ADG Europe invite you to a magical theatrical performance in the company of yanks, ghosts, lovers, murderers, Lords, gypsies, horrible stains and the bad tempered dancing crows of Canterville.
“TNT – a theatrical firework.” – Berliner Morgenpost.
“TNT – touring theatre at its best.” – South China Morning Post.
“If young people need to be persuaded to go to the theatre this is the company to
see.” – Sudkurier, Germany.

Exhibition: 01 – 14/11/2015
Heritage Space
Dolphin Plaza, 28 Tran Binh, My Dinh, Ha Noi
Seventy-nine visual art works of artist photographer Lawrence D’Attilio explore the tensions of young women when having to make difficult choices in life. They will be presented in the exhibition “The New Global Women”. The opening reception is at 17:30 through 20:00 and the artist will be there and a featured guest artist, American violinist Pamela Foard, will perform for you too while refreshments are served. Mrs. Foard is the wife of Mr. D’Attilio.
The exhibition consists of 32 single fine art photographs surrounding a centerpiece installation art work entitled “Challengers”. The installation art work is made up of 24 ceramic photographs of women faces and 23 transparent photographs of Ao Dai. The structure has a conical hat shape, 4.87m diameter, 3.2m tall with transparent photographs and cloth strip suspended in the structure. The installation allows people to walk into the structure up to the edges of the ceramic tiles placed on the floor.
As a mid-career artist, Lawrence has always been interested in breaking current trends in his art media. The exhibit “The New Global Women” is a typical example. The exhibit uses camera-made images re-constructed into abstract expressions as well as a cross media installation work to challenge orthodox concepts of photographic presentation. All of the art works explore the women’s tensions with their own twisting of form, color and elements of minimal narrative.
During nine years in Vietnam, Lawrence has become friends with many young educated women. They have told him about their challenges in making the life-long decisions that they are pressured to confront now. Some of the woman chose to accept the tensions in their lives, a result of their choice to pursue their lives beyond the previous traditional roles. Other women conclude that they prefer a lifestyle that is more comfortable for them and more easily accepted in their current culture.
Lawrence wanted to recognize the tensions women had while making their choices from among the greater options they have today. His idea was to create a sense of the tensions through abstraction while confronting difficult artistic choices of form.
Lawrence D’Attilio is a native of New York City and currently resides in Los Angeles and Milwaukee. He has a Fine art degree from the University of Louisville and did independent studies with Ansel Adams. He has exhibited since 1970 in Vietnam, Malaysia, Italy, and The U.S.A. He co-founded The Bathhouse Gallery of photography in 1970 and was president of The Photography Collectors investment fund. He taught photography in extensions of the University of Wisconsin, Madison and others.
Lawrence is also a successful co-plaintiff in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision involving civil liberties for people of African and Jewish heritage. Further, Lawrence had a 31 year professional music career as a bassoon player for three different major American Symphony Orchestras. He is also an aircraft pilot and was founder and president of Airdance, Inc., the management and FBO for Capital Drive Airport, (02C). Prior to that he was the founder of the Bellanca – Champion Club providing technical support for aircraft of those brands.

You are invited to the exhibition “Inner Channeling” with painter Tran Van Tru (born in 1944) and his student – Nguyen Ngoc Dan (born in 1972).
Having established himself as a well-known painter in the local art scene, Nguyen Ngoc Dan (a.k.a Dan wire) will feature his new artworks on the same topics: wire, electric pole, loud speaker… messy and stuffy in the city.
On artist Tran Van Tru, according to the researcher Tran Hau Yen The: “Flowers on paintings and self portraits are two best topics of Tran Van Tru. In the flower paintings, we encounter a delicate and sensitive soul but in self portraits, he appears with strong will and consistent mind.”
