The capital's audience enjoyed a "mysterious garden" with music with the immortal love songs of the legendary band Secret Garden in the show on October 18.

"Secret Garden Live in Vietnam" is the opening point for the world tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of the legendary Secret Garden band in 2025.

Therefore, the Secret Garden band did not disappoint the more than 4,000 audiences in the capital from the beginning of the program with a series of classic works.

20 immortal pieces are cleverly selected from 13 albums released over the past 30 years of the group. In particular, "Secret Garden Live in Vietnam" opens with the masterpiece "Windancer" with a special effect that promises to bring the audience into a magical world where humans blend with free nature.

The music night is also indispensable "Nocturne" - a work that made Secret Garden famous when they won the championship of Eurovision Europe in 1995 and began their journey to conquer the world in many years after that.

The capital audience also continued to enjoy "Song From A Secret Garden" - a title track of the group's first album released in 1996 and is also one of the most listened songs.

Secret Garden also uses music to dialogue with the audience, sometimes between breaks after a few works, the two members Rolf Løvland and Fionnuala Sherry take turns interacting and sharing the stories behind their compositions.

Secret Garden music lovers always have different images of the music world they bring and this program has realized those feelings with extremely romantic and impressive images combined with sophisticated lighting effects and just enough to be transformed according to the melody of each work.

The stage of "Secret Garden Live in Vietnam" was carefully prepared, not only bringing the audience into the garden imbued with Nordic style but also enjoying the garden imbued with the traditional image of Vietnam with lotus ponds, bamboo pine trees, lanterns, terraced fields, golden ripe rice fields, Ninh Binh water spring...

Member Fionnuala Sherry excitedly shared that one of the best things about his first tour in Vietnam was that they received the support and enthusiasm of the audience. Therefore, the group chose to give the song "Thank you" with singer Espen's voice as a thank you to the Vietnamese audience.

Vietnamese audiences can also see many messages in the music Secret Garden chose to send to the audience on this tour. That is strength, hope, dream and above all, the message of living positively and optimistically.

Member Fionnuala Sherry believes that life is so busy that people forget themselves. Therefore, Secret Garden hopes that the audience will find peace of mind through their music and the group has done that not only with this music night but for the past 3 decades. Photo: Organizing Committee

At the "Secret Garden Live In Vietnam" music night, member Rolf Løvland shared with the audience for the first time his private story, which was the time when Fionnuala Sherry discovered cancer and the group had to cancel her world tour to get her treatment, but luck is good. This is also the reason he composed the song "Fionnuala's violin" for her and this work was chosen for a show in Vietnam.

Secret Garden ended the show with the classic hit "You Raise Me Up" that was once loved by millions of audiences around the world. This is also the most covered song of the Secret Garden group with more than 1,000 recordings in 50 different languages, many times helping Josh Groban and the boy band Westlife top prestigious music charts.

The music night ended with 2 hours filled with emotions. Without the need for translators, Secret Garden plays more than 20 works seamlessly and communicates in English because music is the only common language connecting them and the Vietnamese audience.

"Secret Garden Live in Vietnam" is the 3rd program in the series of international music projects for the community "Good Morning Vietnam" initiated by Nhan Dan Newspaper and IB Group Vietnam.
