VTV.vn - Although Bội singing is considered a classic type of traditional arts in Vietnam, it faces the risk of disappearing as it fails to reach younger audiences.

To protect and promote the art, a project called "Paint the Art of Bội Singing" has been born.

Along with traditional arts such as chèo (traditional opera) in the north and cải lương  (reformed theatre) in the south, hát bội has contributed to the spirit and characteristic of Vietnamese.

Hát bội developed from a folk art to a royal art. Its themes include monarchist loyalty and patriotic duty which define the play’s structure, features, language, music, colour, struggles and personality of the characters.

The art consists of singing and dancing to music.
