On the bank of the Pearl River in Yangcheng on the evening of the 7th, the sound of music "broke through" the dome of the Xinghai Concert Hall, and waves of long-lasting applause came one after another. "The Stars Are Thousand Miles Away - The Symphony Concert of the Three Tenors" was played here. Dai Yuqiang, Mo Hualun, and Wei Song, three of the "China's Three Tenors" who are renowned at home and abroad, gathered in Yangcheng. The famous contemporary Chinese composer Guan Xia served as the artistic director. Together with the famous conductor Shao En, they jointly presented a symphonic vocal feast to thousands of audiences that blended China and the West and resonated with home and country.

Before the performance, two artists, Dai Yuqiang and Mo Hualun, spoke highly of Guangzhou's strong artistic atmosphere in interviews with the media. Dai Yuqiang said that this time he and two other teachers will lead their apprentices on the same stage. He also hopes to use the old to lead the new, provide more practical opportunities for young singing talents, and work with the organizers to polish the music brand of Guangzhou and the Greater Bay Area.

Warren Mok said that the concert will perform foreign classic operas in the first half, and Chinese songs and folk songs in the second half. He will especially sing the Cantonese song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" to present the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures.

At the concert, the Xinghai Concert Hall was packed with seats. The concert kicked off with the majestic melody of "The Passionate Years - Overture to the First Symphony" composed by Guan Xia. The magnificent symphony sounded throughout the performance hall and instantly captured the hearts of all the audience.

In the first half, three tenors took turns on the stage, using their mellow and powerful voices to perform famous songs such as "Little Mouth", "Starlight" and "Please Don't Forget Me", and also performed medleys of foreign songs such as "Return to Sorrento", "Santa Lucia", "The Heartless Man" and "Mountain Cable Car". The pure bel canto singing was delicate and moving, and at the end of each song, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

In the second half, the melody turned to the land of China. Works such as "I Love You China", "Follow You", "The River Goes East", "The Great Wall Will Never Fall Down" and "This is Not a Faraway Place" were sung affectionately, and the touching feelings of home and country came to the face. In the Chinese folk song joint singing session, classic melodies such as "The Girl of Dabancheng", "Fengyang Flower Drum" and "The Sun That Rises and Never Sets on the Prairie" were newly interpreted with bel canto singing method, which refreshed the audience and caused frequent interactions on and off the stage. When the orchestral music "Sea of ​​Stars" composed by Guan Xia played, the majestic music pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a high point.

The encore was filled with warmth and surprise. Xie Tieniu, chairman of Zhengjia Group, took the stage as a special guest and sang "Farewell" with three tenors, mezzo-soprano Wang Hongyao and soprano Ren Wenwen. This emotional "cross-border chorus" made the audience feel very intimate. At the end of the performance, all the actors and the symphony orchestra sang "My Motherland and Me" together. The audience spontaneously sang in unison, and the sound of resonance of home and country echoed in the concert hall for a long time.

Ms. Luo, a live audience member, could not hide her excitement after the performance: "It was wonderful! The Chinese and Western repertoire were arranged with special care. The whole performance was warm and powerful. This feeling can only be experienced in person."
