The 90-minute musical depicts the fierce struggle of Chi Pheo against his tragic fate, with his background and appearance closely aligned with the original literary work. However, The Dream of Chi Pheo does not delve deeply into the harsh realities of life in feudal society. Instead, it emphasises the romantic aspect of the love story between Chi Pheo and Thi No.
Through The Dream of Chi Pheo, Director Phung Tien Minh aims to present an international-style musical on the Vietnamese stage, infused with national cultural identity.
Most performers in this production are youthful and fresh-faced, showcasing powerful performances that bring surprising breakthroughs. Artist Hoang Thai Phuong, in her role as Thi No, delivers a remarkable performance with her powerful voice.
Before its premiere on December 23 in Hanoi, The Dream of Chi Pheo already earned significant recognition, winning several major awards for outstanding performance and exceptional contributions of the production team./.
