American Contemporary Ballet Company coming to Vietnam

Trey McIntyre Project, a renowned American contemporary ballet company, is scheduled to perform in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City at the invitation of the U.S. Embassy.

The dance company will perform at 8:00 PM at the Au Co Theatre, No. 8 Huynh Thuc Khang Street, Hanoi on May 16, 2025, and at the Opera House in Ho Chi Minh City on May 18, 2025. Following the performances, the company will engage in creative dance interactions with various dance troupes across Vietnam, including the Vietnam National Music, Dance & Song Theatre, Vietnam Dance College, and Bong Sen Dance Company. They will also visit underprivileged and disabled children as part of their community outreach efforts.

Trey McIntyre is recognized as one of the leading choreographers in the contemporary dance scene today. His choreography has been described as “genuine 21st-century ballet” (Los Angeles Times), celebrated for its “fertility of invention and modernity of spirit” (New York Times). Since founding his namesake dance company in 2005, it has quickly risen to fame within the American dance community, known for its innovative use of classical ballet as a foundation for creating dynamic and relatable performances. The company was invited to tour Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to share some of America's most exciting contemporary dance works with the Vietnamese audience.

Tickets for both performances will be available free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis. Residents of Hanoi can register for tickets through the U.S. Embassy website. In Ho Chi Minh City, attendees are advised to bring identification to the U.S. Consulate General Public Affairs Section located on the 8th floor of Diamond Plaza, No. 34 Le Duan Street, District 1 to collect their tickets. Each individual may receive up to 2 tickets.
