The art program not only highlights the unique cultural features of Vietnam but also demonstrates the interference and similarities between the two rich traditional cultures of Vietnam and Russia, and praises the strong friendship between the two countries. Art performances are approached in a new way so that Russian audiences can feel the beauty of traditional culture and the creativity of Vietnamese artists.
In addition to the impressions of classical music and opera, the audience also had a chance to immerse themselves in incredible works such as "Xam Xoan - Kalinka," and "Moscow Afternoon" with traditional musical instruments, introducing the unique features of Vietnamese culture. The performances were warmly received by Russian audiences.

In the Capella Concert Hall, audiences and Vietnamese art lovers visited the exhibition space "Vietnam - The Country of Cultural Heritages," displaying impressive photographic works about Vietnamese culture and work heritages, handicrafts, and traditional Vietnamese costumes. Heritage sites demonstrate the harmonious connection between preserving national cultural identity and protecting the natural environment, showcasing biodiversity, and economic development.
Cultural activities and the introduction of Vietnamese tourism in St. Petersburg have ended, contributing to the success of Vietnamese Cultural Days in Russia in 2024. According to Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Nguyen Van Hung, the success of Vietnamese Cultural Days in Russia is shown in 4 angles. Firstly, Vietnam has actively implemented the Joint Declaration on deepening the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Vietnam and Russia during President Vladimir Putin's state visit to Vietnam on June 20. In the Joint Declaration, it was determined to conduct Cultural Days of the two countries. Secondly, the use of cultural and artistic language has helped the people of the two countries better understand each other’s culture and solidarity. Friendship has existed for a long time and is still growing between Vietnam and Russia. Thirdly, the cultural content in Vietnamese Cultural Days in Russia is rich and diverse, not only limited to art performances, but also exhibition spaces about the country and its people of Vietnam, Vietnamese Film Days in Moscow, exhibition activities about President Ho Chi Minh at the Lenin Memorial Area, Ulyanovsk city, and programs introducing Vietnamese tourism in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Finally, through culture and based on cultural products, Vietnam and Russia have promoted tourist destinations so that more Russian tourists come to Vietnam and vice versa. |
