At the expanded APEC Sculpture Park in Hai Chau District, the Trung Vuong Theatre-hosted art programme themed ‘Green Melodies’ featured a total of 15 musical performances. These songs were immortal revolutionary musical works expressing the deep gratitude to heroes and martyrs who laid down their lives to protect the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.
Meanwhile, the city’s Culture and Cinema Centre offered locals and visitors many unique arts shows along both banks of the Han River such as magic shows, ‘bai choi’ (singing while acting as playing cards) performances, performances of traditional Vietnamese musical instruments, and street music programme.
Most notably, the Centre organised a street dance program in April with the theme of ‘The country is full of joy’ with the participation of more than 250 dancers and musicians, along with thousands of locals and tourists.
All the aforementioned programmes created a joyful atmosphere during the holiday, thereby contributing to promoting the city’s typical cultural and artistic products to visitors from both home and overseas.
