The mission of the Viet Nam Cheo Theatre Company, which was established in 1951, is to restore traditional cheo and develop modem cheo. With its nearly 120 members, the company has played widely in ViC't Nam and abroad. Cheo performances on foreign stages have taken audiences by storm in China, Mongolia, Poland, Russia, Bulgaria, Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Two memorable events took place in the history of the company: In 1985, it performed Benoit Brecht's The Caucasian Chalk Circle at the International Opera Festival in Berlin; in 1994, it received a Vi4 Nam-Germany prize.
The Vietnamese Government has recognised the Vi4 Nam cheo Theatre Company's achievements by awarding it two Independence Orders (Second Class and Third Class) and various other honours.
