Huynh Long troupe performs three nights on July 4, 5 and 6 with the plays Giang Son My Nhan, Hoang Hau 2 Que Huong and Tan Mai Trang Se Duyen .

In Tan Mai Trang Se Duyen , Thoai My plays the role of Lieu Chuong Dai.

Thoai My paired with Ngan Tuan in Tan Mai Trang Se Duyen

Tan Mai Trang Se Duyen is a script by the late playwright Bach Mai, directed by director Huu Quoc. The play is a "key" work that Doan Huynh Long performed to serve the audience during the 2025 Tet season at Hong Lien theater (District 6).

Because it was invested with many romantic scenes, the play met the audience's needs during the spring days and sold out all 2 shows.

Recently, the play was also re-performed when Huynh Long performed in the provinces at temples and pagodas.

However, due to personal matters, artist Thoai My arranged to fly back from the US to perform with Huynh Long for the performance on July 6.

In the play, Thoai My plays the character Lieu Chuong Dai, a young lady from a noble family who suffers a miserable life because of an ill-fated love affair.

Co-starring with her is her close colleague, artist Ngan Tuan. Ngan Tuan plays the character Hoang Xuan Truc.

The play "White Mai" has mythical colors. It tells the story of the fairy Mai who accidentally made a mistake and was banished to earth. She must matchmake couples before she can return to heaven.

In this "matchmaking" process, the fairies and the matchmaker brought together Lieu Chuong Dai and the studious scholar Hoang Xuan Truc.

Unfortunately, Lieu Chuong Dai's father was saved by Ngu De on the battlefield and promised to marry his daughter to him. From then on, Lieu Chuong Dai boldly left home to fulfill her love for Hoang Xuan Truc.

Bringing traditional opera to serve the audience

Thoai My expressed that she has very special feelings for Huynh Long. She considers this place as her home, because Huynh Long is the place that has given wings and guided Thoai My on her career path.

Artist Bach Mai used to guide and bend Thoại Mỹ's arms and legs in the early days when she was still unfamiliar with cải lương tuong cổ. She assigned Thoại Mỹ "tailor-made" roles so that she could develop her abilities.

The role of Thoai My that won Tran Huu Trang an award was also from Huynh Long training center.

So the morning Thoai My flew back to Vietnam, that evening she will go on stage to perform with Huynh Long in Tan Mai Trang Se Duyen .

In addition to Tan Mai Trang Se Duyen , the Huynh Long Traditional Opera Troupe also performed the plays Giang Son My Nhan and Hoang Hau 2 Homeland .

The Beauty of the Country was also performed by Huynh Long in May at Hong Lien theater with 2 sold-out shows. The play is a love story of Ngo Phu Sai - Tay Thi - Pham Lai.

Queen 2 Homeland is a script invested in by Huynh Long to serve the audience from Tet season 2024.

In the three nights of performances, in addition to Thoai My and Ngan Tuan, there will also be the participation of artists Minh Nhi, Huu Quoc, Quynh Huong, Huu Hue, Binh Tinh, Thai Vinh, Hoang Quoc Thanh, Phuong Cam Ngoc, Huyen Tram, Trong Nhan, Bao Ngoc, Bao Bao, To Tieu Long, Hoai Nhung...

Sharing with Tuoi Tre Online , producer Binh Tinh said that when she has the opportunity, she always wants to bring the entire play that Huynh Long invested in staging to all regions of the country, so that people have the opportunity to enjoy traditional Cai Luong opera in the most complete way.
