Concert «HBAShow: Giá Như Anh Là Em» (Lệ Quyên minishow)

   Lệ Quyên sings what Vietnam calls nhạc trịnh and bolero — slow urban ballads that several generations grew up on. Her mini-show «Giá Như Anh Là Em» is timed to 20 October, Vietnamese Women's Day.

   The title translates roughly as «if you were me», and the evening is built accordingly: drawn-out, confessional songs about what went unsaid. A mini-show format means a small room and a close stage rather than stadium distance.

   The essentials:

   — mini-show format at SOL 8 Live Stage, a small room;
   — the programme is timed to 20 October and presented as an evening to give to a woman you love;
   — numbered seating, with surcharges on some sectors;
   — part of HBAShow, this venue's regular series with invited names.

   Come if you want Vietnamese pop in its most recognisable genre. If you have been to a Hanoi phòng trà — a tea house with live music — this is the same genre with a first-rank name on stage.

   On tickets: sold through ticketbox, the lowest tier from 900,000 VND, with sector surcharges possible. ⚠️ On the start time: the poster and the sales schedule both say 20:00, while the free-text announcement says 20:30. We give 20:00 as the figure two sources agree on, but check before you go.

   The programme is performed in Vietnamese. The venue is in Giảng Võ, close to central Hanoi.

   One evening, a small room and the voice by which Vietnamese pop is most often recognised. If you are in Hanoi in mid-October, book ahead.
