The concert night gathers many of HBSO’s leading soloists: Meritorious Artist Pham Khanh Ngoc, Pham Trang, Pham Duyen Huyen, and Dao Mac from the Opera Division, together with the HBSO Chorus and Symphony Orchestra. It also features special guest artists such as artist Cho Hae-Ryong, artist Tran Nguyen Kim Ngan, and trumpet artist Tormod Asgard.

The magnificent Gold and Silver Waltz op. 79 by Franz Lehar - a piece that enchanted European concert halls in the early 20th century - will open the evening. The glittering turns of its melody are like opening fireworks, leading the audience into a festive space full of hope. Next is the aria Let the Bright Seraphim from George Frideric Handel’s oratorio Samson.

The mysterious colors of the East appear in the Aria of Shemakhan Queen from Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera Golden Crokerel. This work, famous for its high passages with a seductive and magical character, will be performed by artist Tran Nguyen Kim Ngan. The atmosphere then turns more tragic and heroic with Chanson Bachique from Ambroise Thomas’s opera Hamlet - a wine song that is both lively and filled with a sense of fatal foreboding, performed by artist Dao Mac. A special highlight of Part I is the duet by Meritorious Artist Pham Khanh Ngoc and artist Cho Hae-Ryong in Mira, o Norma from Vincenzo Bellini’s opera Norma - one of the bel canto masterpieces rich in emotion and delicate technique. Closing Part I in a warm and enthusiastic atmosphere is the charming Latin American symphonic work Danzon No. 2 by Arturo Marquez, blending Cuban rhythms with the colors of the modern orchestra.

In Part II, the hall lights up with the overture Light Cavalry by Franz von Suppe - a familiar work with fast tempo and the cheerful spirit characteristic of 19th-century operetta. Meritorious Artist Pham Khanh Ngoc continues to shine with the aria Non fu sogno from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera I Lombardi, with its solemn and powerful melody. Next, artist Cho Hae-Ryong brings graceful color through the aria Una voce poco fa from Gioachino Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia - a performance demanding flexibility and vivid stage personality. The heroic choral spirit resounds in the spirited victory chorus Si celebri al fine from Giuseppe Verdi’s opera I Vespri Siciliani. The audience will be immersed in the lyrical beauty of Vilja-Lied from the operetta Die lustige Witwe by Franz Lehar, performed by Duyen Huyen and the chorus - a melody as soft as the spring breeze.
