The Ho Guom Opera House, one day before the inauguration ceremony. It covers an area of 5,000 square meters.
The Ho Guom Opera’s classical European architecture exudes luxury and splendor. Its 52 monolithic stone columns, each 18 meters high, were imported from Spain.
The theater’s classical elements recall the earliest theaters of mankind. Every design detail of the roof system and interior reflects Vietnamese history, using traditional motifs of Vietnamese culture, such as the sun, cranes, Dong Son bronze drums, and ethnic musical instruments.
More modern elements are found in the building’s windows and dome. The roof of the hall is decorated with reliefs of events in Vietnam’s history.
The theater is divided into functional zones. A large hall and a smaller front hall welcomes guests. The main auditorium can seat 900 guests. A smaller auditorium can accommodate 500 guests.
The rows of columns create a classical formality, but the lobby roof’s inverted arches make the structure less angular and glass blocks add a more modern look.
The main hall is inspired by the starry night sky. The space of the large auditorium is stylized from the image of rice in the logo of the People’s Public Security force.
At the entrance to the stage on both wings and outside the gate, there is a wheelchair lane for the disabled.
The steps around the lobby are decorated with LED strips, creating a luxurious modern feel.
The Ho Guom theater is equipped with modern facilities, advanced technical infrastructure, and state-of-the-art technology for sound, light, and staging.
There is a reception area for VIP guests.
This is the most modern stage in Vietnam and Southeast Asia
The small auditorium is designed like a blooming flower to spread sound waves. Its flexible ceiling system can be moved to suit the requirements of different performances.
The theater’s lighting is also adaptable to different art forms requiring different performance spaces.
The facilities of the Ho Guom Opera House are suitable for conferences and seminars specialized for the arts and other fields.
The sound system of world-class Array and Constellation speakers delivers clear audio to every seat.
Pictured is one of the theater’s many Constellation speakers. Only a few theaters in the world are equipped with this cutting-edge sound system.
The Ho Guom Opera House will become a venue for domestic and foreign cultural exchanges, and a venue for international artists and art troupes to perform.
The Ho Guom Opera House will link to other cultural, historical, and architectural sites near Hoan Kiem Lake to create a cultural complex in the heart of the capital.
