    Quan Ho folk songs are performed as alternating versesbetween two women from one village who sing in harmony, and two men fromanother village who respond with similar melodies, but with different lyrics.The women traditionally wear distinctive large round hats and scarves; themen’s costumes include turbans, umbrellas and tunics. There are more than 400song lyrics, sung with 213 different melody variations, express people’semotional states of longing and sadness upon separation, and the happiness of loverswhen meeting each other, but custom forbids marrying a singing partner.

    Quan Ho was regarded as a cultural activity at which peoplein Bac Ninh and some other areas nearby gathered, shared their passions, withtheir fascinating voices. They “played” Quan Ho, not “performed” it, with themain purpose to satisfy their demand to meet and make friends with other peoplewho have same hobbies, and exchange their love on traditional art in a largecommunity.

    Quan Ho singing is common at rituals, festivals, competitionsand informal gatherings, where guests will perform a variety of verses fortheir hosts before singing farewell.

    Quan Ho songs express the spirit, philosophy and localidentity of the communities in this region, and help forge social bonds withinand between villages that share a cherished cultural practice.

The theatre has four storeysand a unique architectural design featuring the images of a house, dragon boat, a strip of peach silkand a large round hat, which are symbols of Quan Ho singing, representingthe cultural features of Bac Ninh–Kinh Bac.

    With support provided by the authorities at all levels, the artists have beenenthusiastic and motivated in conserving as well as staging new programmes tointroduce Quan Ho to tourists, he said.

    In implementing its commitment to UNESCO, throughout the years, Bac Ninh hascalled for efforts made at all levels, branches and people's communities, injointly implementing the project "Preserving and promoting the value ofintangible cultural heritage, Bac Ninh Quan Ho folk songs and Ca tru in2013-2020 ”.
