Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnamese audiences will have the chance to immerse themselves in the timeless melodies of ABBA music during the “The Music of ABBA” tour, hosted by Swedish group ARRIVAL and artist Ake Sundqvist, the group’s percussionist from 1978 to 1982, according to the Nhan Dan (Village) period.
This was announced by officials from the Hanoi Opera House and the Saigon Symphony Orchestra (SPO) at a press conference held yesterday in Ho Chi Minh City.
According to Chu Anh Hung, deputy director of Hanoi Opera, the programme is part of the activities marking the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Sweden and will be held from October 5 to 12 in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Hanoi.
ARRIVAL was founded by Vicky Zetterberg in 1995 in Gothenburg, Sweden, and quickly became one of the world’s most famous and best-selling ABBA-performing bands.
Since its inception, the band has toured 70 countries and appeared on numerous radio and television shows around the world. It is also the only group to have had an unreleased song presented to it by ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson.
Nguyen Bao Trung, general director of SPO, said ABBA is not only a musical group, but also a symbol of joy and love, and expressed his hope that the songs they have performed again will be a gift to the Vietnamese public./.
