Lune Production[edit]
Widely known as A O Entertainment, Lune Production’s foundation was initially established in Saigon, Vietnam, in 2012, under Square Group Investment Holding. With the vision to become an excellent entertainment corporation that inspires Vietnamese cultural values to the world, Lune Production focuses on researching, developing, creating, and promoting quality Vietnamese cultural entertainment products.
Under Lune Production, Lang Pho Joint Stock Company was founded back in 2012 to specialize in managing and developing Lune Production’s assets. Ever since, Lune Production’s three key spectacles, naming A O Show, Lang Toi and The Mist, have inspired and received much love and critical acclaim from both local and international audiences while performing at the Saigon Opera House, as well as during the world tour of Lang Toi and A O Show throughout the past few years. With steady business growth, Lune Production now expands its network to Hanoi, tapping on a market with great potential for cultural products of high quality. The result is our new Box Office settlement and Lang Toi starts performing at Hanoi Opera House from July 2016. Besides expanding our current business scale, Lune Production constantly keeps the commitment on research, creativity and quality of service. This promises an exciting future with more great cultural entertainment products to come.

Built in parallel structure, the Opera House is located on the city’s center axis, connecting the metro station and roundabout in front of Ben Thanh market. From a distance, the Opera House looks like a beautiful gigantic city gate. The architecture boasts stone-carved ornaments and statues at the entrance, crystal chandeliers, and shiny granite floor at the lobby area – all built with materials imported from France. The oval auditorium with 468 seats offers good view from every seat. It is also echo-free and therefore preserves all the sound inside the theatre.
The theatre is now a venue for many high profile events and cultural – entertainment activities of the city. Certified as a national relic in 2012, this magnificent building stays on top of the must-visit of Ho Chi Minh City.
