After nearly a year of construction, the major renovation project of Hoa Binh Theater (located at 240 Ba Thang Hai Street, Hoa Hung Ward, Ho Chi Minh City) has been completed and is now undergoing trial operation.
The project has transformed Hoa Binh Theater—an iconic landmark of the former District 10 (now Hoa Hung Ward)—into a modern and impressive structure.
Hoa Binh Theater dons a new look
The project, which began in December 2024 with a budget of over 270 billion VND, aimed to address structural deterioration and upgrade the theater’s interior, landscaping, and technical systems.
These enhancements ensure the theater can host a wide range of artistic performances, serving diverse audiences and fulfilling local political objectives.
Balconies and stair railings in the auditorium have been preserved, with only rusted paint removed and re-painted.
Hoa Binh Theater sits on a 9,152.2 m² plot of land, with the main building and auxiliary structures covering 3,668.3 m². The renovation did not alter the theater’s original floor area.
