Before the performance, Doan Huynh Long replayed a clip in which artist Bach Mai confessed that she only accepted Ngoc Huyen as her disciple, although she still taught many other famous cai luong artists.

More than 20 years, Ngoc Huyen sings Phi Giao's Confessions again

The play Phi Giao Trial with the role of Phi Giao is a character that must be mentioned in Ngoc Huyen's singing career. When she was still alive, artist Bach Mai once shared with Tuoi Tre Online that she took the trouble to train and teach Ngoc Huyen with the first female role in her life.

At that time, Ngoc Huyen was a promising actress, playing a villainous role was also a risky decision, if not successful it would create an adverse reaction.

But surprisingly, Ngoc Huyen excelled with Phi Giao, making many cai luong fans remember her forever.

Phi Giao's Confession is a poem written by Ms. Bach Mai especially for Ngoc Huyen, on the occasion of her live show celebrating 18 years of singing career several decades ago.

The scene is performed by Ngoc Huyen, expressing Phi Giao's inner feelings before being tried for his crimes.

Phi Giao was lonely, so he confided in Ms. Hang to tell her all his heart, about the path that led him down a deep hole because of jealousy and power.

Ngoc Huyen said it had been more than 20 years since she had the chance to sing this scene. As for the entire play Xu an Phi Giao , she had the opportunity to perform it with Kim Tu Long a few years ago. She also performed excerpts of Xu an Phi Giao in some invited shows and her own personal programs.

Couldn't hold back tears when seeing master Bach Mai

More special was that in the performance on the evening of October 3, director Huu Quoc arranged for Ngoc Huyen to perform the Phi Giao Confession with artist Bach Mai through the screen. Those were old footages when the little student performed with her teacher.

Confiding in Tuoi Tre Online , Ngoc Huyen said that right at the first rehearsal, when the crew played a clip with artist Bach Mai for Ngoc Huyen to perform with, she burst into tears because she missed her master and she kept crying until the performance.

"I miss my master so much, but being able to perform at the ancestor's death anniversary in Huynh Long this year warms my heart, makes me happy and grateful to see Binh Tinh, my master's daughter, persistently keeping the profession and maintaining and developing the Huynh Long Group as it is today.

Therefore, even though I was quite busy in the US, when she invited me, I had to rush back to participate immediately. Not only was my performance carefully prepared, but the whole program Huu Quoc and Binh Tinh invested in was very meaningful, showing gratitude to the generations that created Huynh Long today and having the continuation of young people" - Ngoc Huyen emotionally said.

In the program, in addition to Phi Giao's Confessions, there are also famous excerpts by artist Bach Mai such as That Tien Nu, Ve Dat Kinh Chau, Vo Tac Thien and Thai Binh Princess ...

In particular, during the performance, artist Huu Quoc also gave space for many young artists to develop. In Luu Kim Dinh Pha Am Duong Tran, it was an opportunity for Hoang Quoc Thanh and Bao Ngoc to show their diverse abilities, both comedy and tragedy.

The film "Farewell to Yu Ji" boasts a pair of good singers and actors, Phuong Cam Ngoc and Trong Nhan. Trong Nhan reprises the role of Hang Vo that Mrs. Bach Mai wrote specifically for Vu Linh. This role is like a "difficult exercise" to develop Trong Nhan's inner strength in singing, acting, and dancing.

Baby Bella Cat Tien, daughter of artist Binh Tinh, is becoming more and more mature when appearing with her mother in the performance "The Queen's Injustice" . Ngoc Cuong is now an adult, performing interactively with his father, the late artist Chinh Nhan (Binh Tinh's real brother).

Hoai Nhung and To Tieu Long brought their little son to the end of the program, making the audience applaud nonstop because of his cuteness and stage presence.
