When performing the song 'Dạ Cổ Hoài Lang,' my goal was to present something pure. I didn’t want to make too many changes because I wanted the song to reach the younger audience today. I really didn’t know how to sing it, but I felt deeply moved and happy about it.” (Bằng Kiều)

“Today, I’m extremely happy because cải lương, chèo (Vietnamese folk opera in general) and Quan họ Bắc Ninh (Bac Ninh folk duets) have been honored on such a grand stage. In the past, children only heard chèo, now they know how to sing it, even “Đào Liễu”.” (People’s Artist Thu Huyền - Guest).
