NOVEMBER(Ho Chi Minh City): The Magic Flute
Ho Chi Minh City’s first opera performance sold out before the opening night.
Saturday November 8th is the premiere of The Magic Flute in the famous Opera House. The performance is a collaboration between the Norwegian cultural development program Transposition, and the opera company HBSO – Ho Chi Minh City Ballet Symphony Orchestra and Opera.
Magic reviews!
There wasn’t a weak link anywhere, and conductor Magnus Loddgard and his team, both locals and guests, are to be congratulated on a production that not only bodes exceptionally well for next year’s fully-staged version, but was an unmitigated delight in its own right.
