Tuồng

Hát tuồng (Vietnamese pronunciation: [háːt tûəŋ], Chữ Nôm: 咭從) or hát bội (Vietnamese pronunciation: [háːk ɓôjˀ], Chữ Nôm: 咭佩) is a form of Vietnamese theatre. Hát tuồng is often referred to as classical "Vietnamese opera" influenced by Chinese opera.

Tuồng is distinct from the older hát chèo genre of Vietnamese theatre which combines dance, song and poetry, and the more modern cải lương folk musical.
