The stage of the program "Thang Long's Spirit, Hanoi's Gourmand" used the entire space in front of Doan Mon of Thang Long Imperial Citadel, creating a very large live stage, giving the audience a special visual experience with bold imprints of Thang Long-Hanoi. In the sacred atmosphere, the program recreated a creative musical space, imbued with the breath of contemporary folklore, sublimating the beauty in the depths of the capital's culture, where Vietnamese culture converges and spreads. The space in front of Doan Mon has become an art space, to tell the story of the cultural and historical depth of Thang Long-Hanoi. Journalist Ngo Thanh, Director of the Entertainment Program Center of Hanoi Radio and Television, said that the crew used more than 500 square ^{meters of} LED screens, to cover the entire front wall of Doan Mon. The laywer trust system to hang the large LED panels up to 11m high, with an aperture of more than 50m, had to be constructed for many days. The high-quality sound system in the program cost up to more than 1 million USD, produced by the German company D&B Audiotechnik. "Thang Long Spirit, Hanoi's Gallantry" is a program invested in by Hanoi Radio and Television in terms of artistic quality and scale, with the participation of more than 200 artists.

People's Artist Mai Hoa performs the song "Remembering Autumn in Hanoi".

Like a meeting of history and autumn, over a millennium, Thang Long, Dong Do, Hanoi has always been associated with heroic and brilliant autumns. Despite going through many ups and downs, events, Hanoi and autumn still blend together, dissolve into each other to become an endless "flow" of history. With a lyrical and romantic style, People's Artist Mai Hoa brings to the audience a gentle yet moving, gentle yet profound autumn in Hanoi, making the audience feel a surge of nostalgia and longing. Traditional music in general and folk songs in particular are considered the "heart voice" of a nation, born and existing as an important, intimate and indispensable element in folk cultural activities, community consolidation and social cohesion. Nowadays, bringing traditional musical heritage as a "flow" into the vast "ocean" of world music has become a popular trend. Those original cultural signals are clearly shown in the folk songs that are recreated creatively and uniquely in "Thang Long's Spirit, Hanoi's Gourmand".

Singer Bao Yen smoothly performs Northern folk songs.

Still retaining the melodious and lyrical features, “Beo dat may troi” and “Hoa thom buom luon” are infused with the passion and fascination of contemporary love songs by two young singers Quach Mai Thy and Bao Yen. The smooth blend of traditional music and Western instruments does not lose the inherent charm and subtlety of two famous folk songs of the Northern Delta. Going beyond the inherent solemnity, sophistication and kindness, the song “Co la” suddenly creates an extremely exciting feeling for the audience through the bold breakthrough in the arrangement and performance of the duo Yen Le and Raper Yanbi.

Singer Ha Myo with Hanoi Xam.

The Doan Mon stage space (Thang Long Imperial Citadel) was awakened and exploded with Xam Ha Noi. Still bringing the audience back to the "Ke Cho" land of the ancient Thang Long citadel, Dong Xuan market of the capital Hanoi today, but Ha Myo and the Hanoi Tre dance troupe created interesting surprises for the audience through the unique and creative combination of Xam with Rap and EDM.

Young singer An Thu An with "Dem a dao".

When mentioning the traditional music of ancient Thang Long, people immediately think of Ca Tru, a noble, academic musical form born in the 15th century and recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage. In poetry there is music, in music there is poetry, the performance space of Ca Tru is expanded in the mysterious and shimmering space of the art program "Thang Long's spirit, Hanoi's elegance". The flow of contemporary music merges with Ca Tru, making listeners sway, dizzy in the intoxication and magical scene somewhere on Kham Thien street in "Dem a dao".

Singer Tung Duong sings "A Glimpse of West Lake".

Tung Duong, a singer full of energy, captivated the audience with the medley of "A Glimpse of West Lake" and "Afternoon in West Lake" full of ghosts. The artistic and spiritual elements became "thick" in the lingering atmosphere of the "heavenly paradise" of the ancient capital, a place that recorded countless sacred legends accumulated for thousands of years under the vast waves of West Lake of Thang Long-Hanoi.

Meritorious Artist Vu Thang Loi performed the song "Hoan Kiem" by musician Giang Son for the first time.

“The Spirit of Thang Long, the Gallantry of Hanoi” brings the audience back to the present with the image of the Capital today through its position as the “center” of the country, the place where thousands of years of culture converge, the center of crystallization, the place where it absorbs, fertilizes and forms its own identity, clearly expressed through its gallantry and sophistication. For the first time on a large stage, the song “Hoan Kiem” by musician Giang Son (based on Nguyen Vinh Tien’s poem) was performed passionately, passionately, but also very generously by Meritorious Artist Vu Thang Loi. Since ancient times, Hanoi has been famous as a land of culture. The gallantry and elegance are expressed in the elegance, tactfulness and sophistication in behavior; liberal and elegant. Throughout history, the people of Hanoi have cultivated their own unique temperament: intellectual yet scholarly; a gallant scholar, elegant yet moderate, righteous yet benevolent. Originating from the idea of portraying the “soul” of Hanoi people through musical art, a special version of the song “Hanoi is sacred and gallant” was adapted into instrumental music performed by 70 artists from the National Orchestra of the Vietnam National Academy of Music.

70 artists performed the instrumental piece "Sacred and Glorious Hanoi".

Inspired by an ancient and cultured Hanoi, musician An Thuyen visualized the 36 streets of Hanoi as 36 strings of the Tam Thap Luc zither, from which he created "Hanoi Waves". The song concluded the special art program "Thang Long Spirit, Hanoi's Gallantry" with the image of the army returning to liberate the capital on October 10, 1954 on Long Bien Bridge and the joyful Hanoi girls welcoming them on The Huc Bridge. This subtle connection brought a complete finale to the grand, quality music night, a special art program opening the series of events celebrating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the capital.
