Hello everyone! Today, I want to share a recent unique cultural experience: watching a play at the Vietnam National Drama Theatre. What made it even more special was that the esteemed People's Artist Xuan Bac directed the play. Sounds intriguing, right?
If you're used to romantic dates at lovely restaurants or exciting movie nights, I think an evening enjoying the arts at the theatre is also a "not bad" idea! I was very excited for my first visit to the Vietnam National Drama Theatre and to see a performance "conducted" by such a talented artist as Xuan Bac.

As soon as I stepped into the auditorium, I felt a solemn artistry-filled atmosphere. The soft lighting and the quiet before the show created a sense of anticipation and expectation for what was about to unfold on stage. My friends and I managed to get pretty good seats with a clear view of the entire stage.
When the velvet curtain slowly rose, time seemed to stand still, with the spotlight focused on the actors and the story they were about to tell. Although I can't recount the detailed plot in a few short lines, the artists' dialogues, gestures, and performances truly captivated me. I experienced various emotions, from joy and sorrow to anger, and reflections on life through each character.
In particular, I was very impressed with how director Xuan Bac "breathed life" into the play. The way the actors performed on stage, from their voices to their expressions, was professional and full of emotion.

Sometimes, we need quiet moments to feel and reflect on the life around us. And an evening at the drama theatre, immersed in a story told through the language of art, is an excellent way to "refresh" our souls.
If you are looking for a place for amusing and culturally valuable entertainment, then the Vietnam National Drama Theatre is an option you shouldn't miss. Try visiting it once, feel the artistic atmosphere, and appreciate the talent of the artists. I believe you will have memorable experiences!
