Trip for Vietnam(4) Opera House

In Ho Ci Min City, there is a significant Opera House build in 1987.

 

The Municipal Theatre of Ho Chi Minh City, also known as Saigon Opera House (VietnameseNhà hát lớn Thành phố Hồ Chí MinhFrenchOpėra de Saigon), is an opera house in Ho Chi Minh CityVietnam. It is an example of French Colonial architecture in Vietnam.

Built in 1897 by French architect Eugène Ferret as the Opėra de Saigon, the 800 seat building was used as the home of the Lower House assembly of South Vietnam after 1956. It was not until 1975 that it was again used as a theatre, and restored in 1995.(wikipedia)

Before starting the show, I look around inside the Opera House.

The lighted up REX HOTEL is beautiful.

The show was great, no Vietamese, no English.

Young performers are incredible.

The show time was 1 hour, after the show, the performers were frriendly taken picture with the audience.
