'Goosebumps' when watching the renowned singer Bao Yen sing 'Love Between Tree and Earth'

For many years, the renowned singer Bao Yen has lived a private life and rarely accepted invitations to perform, but the art concert on the evening of May 14th at the Ho Guom Theater was an exception.

Beginning in 2019 with the theme "Water" and continuing in 2021 with "The Sound of Nature," true Concert - Love of the Land, the third stage, chooses "Land" - an element seemingly simple but the source of all life - as the central element to tell a continuous story, from origin and development to rebirth.

This year's program is structured as a seamless 90-minute flow across five chapters with themes: Fields - Flowers and Fruits - Rivers - Forests - Love for the Land, opening up multiple layers of meaning about origins, life, gratitude, the spirit of service, dedication, and the aspiration to build the future.

The show opened with an elaborately choreographed dance performance titled "Morning Dew," incorporating 3D mapping technology to create a special visual effect for the audience.

The stage features special visual effects.

Lam Bao Ngoc, a young and powerful vocalist, was chosen to open the show with a medley of songs including "Dewdrop," "Dewdrop on a Leaf," "The Worm," and "I Stand on the Field," performing with OPlus. The female singer chose a pristine white dress adorned with 3D flower petals inspired by nature and captivated the audience with her refined voice and engaging performance style.

Meanwhile, Thuy Chi impressed the audience when she stepped onto the stage in a flowing dress inspired by flower petals. She performed the hit song "I See Yellow Flowers on Green Grass" from the film of the same name while sitting on a swing suspended above the stage.

Thuy Chi's clear voice blended wonderfully with the four members of Oplus in the medley of "Greenfields" —a classic song by The Brothers Four—and "I See Yellow Flowers on Green Grass ." The two songs, sharing a similar theme, opened up a space of lush green meadows on stage, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the wonder of nature.

An impressive performance by Nguyen Hung, Phan Manh Quynh, Marzuz, Thuy Chi, and Lam Bao Ngoc.

Nguyen Hung, the actor who caused a sensation in theaters with "Red Rain" and in the Vietnamese music scene with the song "What Could Be More Beautiful?" , took to the stage of the true Concert - Love of the Land in a romantic setting with colorful lights creating special effects. With his usual simple style, he appeared in a military uniform, holding a guitar and showcasing his vocals with a medley of "In the Forest," "Miracle," and "5 Fingers ."

The theme of the program was clearly expressed through Ha An Huy's elaborately staged performance, where real saplings were brought onto the stage during the song "I Want to Be a Tree ." Dressed in a white tuxedo, Ha An Huy carefully held the saplings in his hands, transporting the audience to a cool, tranquil forest with its melodious tunes.

"King of Soundtrack Music" Phan Mạnh Quỳnh brought to the show a new arrangement of the song " Hoa Mặt Trời" (Sunflower ) from his debut album and " Từ Đó " (From Then On) - a beloved soundtrack from the movie "Mắt Biếc" (Blue Eyes) . Phan Mạnh Quỳnh chose simple attire and a performance style that resonated with the audience. Both of the singer's performances were specially invested in terms of choreography with stunning 3D mapping visual effects.

In particular, the 3D butterflies "released" during the performance left the audience in awe. Phan Manh Quynh jokingly said that creating the effects took a bit too much time, and since the song was rather short, he decided to sing more and lead the audience in singing along with him during the chorus.

Singer Marzuz – daughter of musician Thanh Phuong – brought a unique flavor to the show with her performance of "Deep Water" in a rock-infused style. Marzuz stood out with her red hair and a stunning 3D floral dress. The lightning effect created by the modern laser lighting system on stage gave the audience a visual representation of the power of nature.

Thuy Chi returns to the stage for the second time in a modernized ao dai, transporting the audience to a natural setting with waterfalls and a mystical river in the night, performing the Quan Ho folk song "Nguoi o nguoi ve" (The One Who Stays, The One Who Leaves) , now given a new look with a completely new arrangement by musician Thanh Phuong.

Pia Linh and Ha An Huy presented two performances with a strong focus on nature.

Pia Linh appeared in a flowing dress in two tones of white and light green, blending seamlessly into nature in Chapter 4, showcasing her captivating voice and gentle, breath-like style in Trinh Cong Son's song "Forever Green Forest." She also made a particularly strong impression when collaborating with the OPlus group on the song "Forever Leaning on You" by author Thuong Tam Dieu Hue.

Amidst the emotional flow of the concert, the song emerges as a precious moment of tranquility. Each morning, waking before the sun reaches our doorstep, we silently receive an immense blessing: the universe bestows upon us a loving heart to empathize with humanity, a healthy body to rely on in this world, and a pure soul to illuminate the boundless treasures of nature. In the stillness of our inner selves, we suddenly realize we have never been alone.

Gratitude is the only thread that keeps the soul from going astray, the sacred lifeblood flowing within each of us. A magical force of attraction is turning everything around, guiding the stars and connecting us so that today we are all present here, enveloped in the fragrant aroma of profound gratitude.

Bao Yen's appearance at the end of the show caused an outpouring of emotion from the audience. Some couldn't hide their feelings, exclaiming, "I got goosebumps when Bao Yen's voice rang out!" because for many years, the renowned singer rarely accepted invitations to participate in music programs. And the singer still proved to the audience the class of a top vocalist with her rich, husky voice, possessing a captivating and ethereal quality in the song "Love of Trees and Land ."

The 90-minute performance concluded with a choral rendition of "And the Flowers Will Bloom" (Hana wa Saku), leaving not only the lasting impression of a meticulously produced musical evening but also reminding viewers of things that seem familiar yet easily forgotten amidst the modern pace of life: the connection with nature, with the land, and with the peaceful and enduring values ​​that have silently nurtured humanity day after day.

The artists and crew of "True Concert - Love for the Land" received flowers from the organizers and thanked the audience.

With meticulous investment in content and staging, and the participation of many renowned artists such as General Director Cao Trung Hieu, Music Director Thanh Phuong, Choreographer Tan Loc, and a large number of participating artists, true Concert 2026 - Love of the Land was not only a success in creating an artistic program but also a meeting point where each audience member could connect more deeply with nature, with cultural memories, and with themselves.

Concluding a program filled with emotion, each audience member left with a small, vibrant sapling of a money tree – a gift from the source, blossoming and flourishing from Chung Son Temple. This gift also conveyed the message the organizers wanted to send: all lasting values ​​are nurtured by gratitude and a spirit of service to humanity and all living things. Each sapling given away was a wish for peace, prosperity, and lasting happiness.
