World-renowned orchestra to perform in Vietnam this August
VOV.VN - French orchestra Les Musiciens du Louvre is scheduled to hold events at the Ho Guom Opera House in downtown Hanoi on August 23 - 24 as part of the The Mozart Concert programme themed 'Bei Momenti' (Beautiful Moment).
Les Musiciens du Louvre will perform under the direction of conductor Étienne Lemieux-Després, featuring the presence of soprano Sofia Savenko.
The orchestra was originally formed in 1982 and was first based in Paris. Since 1996, it has moved to the Couvent des Minimes in Grenoble, and The Guardian considers it to be among the best orchestras in the world.
Opera quickly played a major role in the orchestra's repertoire right from its foundation, winning critical acclaim for their productions of Monteverdi, Gluck, and Mozart. It also toured Eastern Europe, Asia, North America, South America, and Japan.
Ho Guom Opera House opened its doors in July 2023, and was hailed as one of the “Top 10 Most Outstanding Opera Houses in the World” at the World Travel Awards last December.
The theatre has since hosted several concerts of famous international artists, including Grammy award-winning saxophonist Kenny G and singer Katy Perry.
