Huỳnh began her career when she was at school in Bạc Liêu Province. Her sweet and strong voice and performance helped the artist become a young star in the industry.
She now works for the State-owned Cao Văn Lầu Theatre in Bạc Liêu, one of the region’s leading traditional art troupes.
Huỳnh and her colleagues have worked to offer quality shows with new concerts and techniques to meet the taste of young audiences.
“My colleagues and I are working to preserve and develop cải lương uniquely. We hope our art will be closer to young people,” said Huỳnh, who has nearly 20 years of experience in the industry. — VNS
