A night of Tchaikovsky in Saigon

The Municipal Theatre of Ho Chi Minh City 
is also known as the Saigon Opera House.
It is in the heart of the city on Donh Khoi street. 
If you travel to Ho Chi Minh City...it will be
hard to miss.

I admit I wasn't sure what to expect and I walked away 
pleasantly surprised. The Ho Chi Minh City Ballet Symphony Orchestra and Opera 
was outstanding. Accompanying the Orchestra, were visiting artists..

Cello: Filip Tomic
Piano: Boris Kraljevic 

My favourite from the evening..
Variations on a Roccoco theme, op 33. for cello and orchestra
Love the cello!



Views from the front stairs of the Opera House..







 The theatre is small and simple compared to world class stages.
No matter, when they started to play, it was pure enjoyment.
Close your eyes and you were transported to Carnegie Hall.
A night with Tchaikovsky..a night to remember.
