In October 2026, Hanoi hosted several high-profile international classical music events at the Ho Guom Theater. 

The month began with the London Symphony Orchestra, led by conductor Sir Antonio Pappano, debuting the ‘Vietnam Airlines Classic – Hanoi Concert 2026’. The two-night event featured over 100 artists performing works by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, and Lyadov. The performance opened with the Vietnamese national anthem, ‘Marcia’.

Later in the month, the Versailles Royal Opera House Orchestra performed a two-night series titled ‘Four Seasons with Love’ on October 28 through October 30. Led by conductor and violinist Stefan Plewniak, the program focused on Baroque masterpieces by composers such as Vivaldi, Handel, and Rameau. The performances were structured into four parts representing Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, blending instrumental pieces with arias and duets.

Co-sponsored by Techcombank and Masterise Group, the event featured a fusion of European Baroque music and Vietnamese culture. A notable highlight included female musicians from the orchestra performing in traditional Vietnamese ao dai. Plewniak highlighted the ongoing artistic collaboration between the Versailles orchestra and the Ho Guom Theater.
