Opera House in HCHC
 
I'm wondering if it hosts performances.

Of what, by whom?

Anyone know?

Thx.

Where is HCHC?

Ok - Hanuman, a typo.

HCMC - but of course you knew anyway.

Ho Chi Minh City aka Saigon.

Now that I've rectified that - do you have any info?

it would be brilliant if you had.

Taa.

When will yo be there?

Today the building has been renovated as a theater for a variety of traditional and classical performances--plays, concerts, ballet, opera, and Vietnamese traditional dance.

Here are some information for you:

October 13 and 14: There will be a modern dance performance in the Opera House with the Ho Chi Minh City Ballet and Symphony-orchestra and the HCMC school of dance. Sponsored by the Dutch Embassy.

You don't say which year. Are we talking dec 07/jan 08?

Your post is far too vague. And this forum/any forum is best when your questions are more specific.

So go research!! To get you started try googling "opera house ho chi minh".

Try www.vietnamtravelguide.com or or www.eng.hochiminhcity.gov.vn.

Happy travels, and enjoy that feeling of anticipation - priceless!!

Thx you, Axxo, but I'd sort of already been there and done that. Generally all one gets is lists of five star hotels. True of your first link; I will check out the second in detail later to see if there is anything of interest buried there.

And, yes, the OH has a site too - but it just goes on about the building.

Hanuman - thank you.

I'll be there Nov 15-17 approx - and Nov 28-30 approx. 2007.

Not one for setting an itinerary in stone, and will most likely go visit the Mekong Delta end Nov.

But if there was something I really wanted to see at the HCMC OH then I would revise my plans.

Which is really why I'm asking!!

Modern Dance is right up my street but a month too early.

Thx again.
