The Việt Nam Chèo Theatre came into being in 1951 and was officially inaugurated in 1964. In addition to performing it functions as a research, training and development institute for the ancient art of chèo, sending teachers out to work with and develop the art of the numerous provincial chèo troupes. Over the years the company has provided a showcase for the talents and skills of many distinguished People’s Artists (Nghệ sĩ Nhân dân, NSND), such as Chu Văn Thức, Bùi Trọng Đăng, Mạnh Tuấn, Bạch Tuyết, Thúy Lan and Diễm Lộc. It has performed extensively overseas, in both Asia and Europe, and is the recipient of numerous awards. The National Chèo Theatre Company’s repertoire includes excerpts from selected traditional plays, as well as full-length ones. The company's venue at 1 Giang Văn Minh has been closed for many years due to subsidence and deterioration in the fabric of the building but is currently undergoing renovation:
