Cải lương singer Minh Cảnh performs final liveshow in Vietnam

Renowned Vietnamese cải lương singer Minh Cảnh, aged 89, recently performed a farewell liveshow in Vietnam following his return from the United States. Due to declining health, the veteran artist performed while seated in a wheelchair and required assistance from family to depart the venue.

The event served as a tribute to his fans and featured collaborations with other prominent artists, including NSND Minh Vương. Minh Cảnh, a prominent figure from the golden era of Southern cải lương, is recognized for his distinctive vocal techniques and celebrated performances in classic plays and songs.

Having resided in the United States since 2005, Minh Cảnh’s return to Vietnam was organized by colleagues to provide a final opportunity for him to connect with his domestic audience. Recent reports indicate his health has weakened significantly, making frequent international travel difficult.
