Conclusi
on
In some words, I cannot describe all the beauty or meaning in
Chèo singing. But I do hope this presentation gives you an
overview of it. Nowadays, Chèo is considered as an indispensable
part of Vietnamese spirit and attract not only people in the
countryside and in towns but the foreign spectators as well. This
ancient theatrical art form needs to be preserved and developed
together with the development of society
