Cheo - A Traditional Vietnamese Stage Art
Cheo is a form of traditional Vietnamese stage art which holds an important position in the cultural and spiritual life of the Vietnamese people. Originated in the 10th century from folk music and dance, this Vietnamese traditional opera is popular in areas around the Red River Delta. With every passing year, the art has gradually spread to the Northern midland and mountainous regions and the North Central Coast. With unique artistic values, a dossier for Cheo is being compiled to seek UNESCO recognition as a cultural heritage of the world.
