The show was attended by Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ta Quang Dong, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Le Thi Thu Hang, Italian Ambassador to Vietnam Marco Della Seta and Ambassadors, representatives of diplomatic missions and international organizations in Vietnam.
In this meaningful comeback, the talented playwright Monica Casadei and the world- famous dance troupe Artemis Danza skillfully breathe modern life into the classic old story to bring the capital's audience a lively, graceful, and laughter-filled performance.
Ballet "The Barber of Seville" premiered in Hanoi .
Not only is tonight's performance a "revival" of a classic ballet, it is even more special because of choreographer Monica's bold choice of adaptation, transforming a work with a traditional performance style into a modern "action ballet" with a contemporary feel.
This choice not only provides space for dancers to fully express their emotions and perspectives, but also makes the most of sound and lighting arrangements as well as costumes and props, so that the dancers' movements do not stop at interpreting the usual ballet language, but seem to show the soul of the character.
And undeniably, this subtle innovation brought the capital's art-loving audience an emotional evening of graceful cavatinas, sweet serenades, cheerful duets and especially the classic aria Largo al factotum.
Through the performance, art lovers in the capital were able to fully enjoy the humorous atmosphere and join Figaro in mischievous laughter.
This is a modern "action ballet" with a contemporary feel.
At the show, the audience will personally experience the funny and sad situations, and face the crazy twists of the story in the most realistic way. And what could be better than an evening of immersing yourself in an artistic space imbued with the breath of Italy through a top favorite play for more than two centuries, a perfect culmination of the "Opera bel canto" school - the traditional singing art of Italy.
The year 2023 is of particular importance in the relationship between Italy and Vietnam. The close relationship between the two countries over the past 50 years has opened a period of increasingly deep development and cooperation, especially in the field of culture and tourism with many encouraging achievements.
The ballet will continue to be performed at Hai Phong Opera House at 8:00 p.m. on October 17, 2023.
The return of the play The Barber of Seville can be seen as a boost to bring the beauty of Italian culture closer to Vietnamese audiences in general and the capital's art lovers in particular, thereby contributing to tightening the close relationship between the two countries, towards a peaceful, stable future, and dynamic, friendly relations.
The ballet will continue to be performed at Hai Phong Opera House at 8:00 p.m. on October 17, 2023.
