First theatre dedicated to traditional ceremonial singing opens

      The Ca tru Theatre officially opened at the Thang Long Ca tru Cultural Centre in Ha Noi to entertain audiences with authentic performances of one of Viet Nam’s long-standing art forms.
With 100 seats and a standard audio system, this is the first professional ca tru (ceremonial singing) stage in the country.
A 15-member troupe led by artist Bach Van will perform regularly with artistic advice from veteran artists including Vu Van Hong and Do Thi Song.
The centre will also offer ca tru training courses for future singers, said director Nguyen Lan Huong.
