As expected, the young tenor went all out to hit the high notes while performing Opera 1, Opera 2, Smile! and Jamaica.

Although Vitas' greetings in Chinese prompted squeals from the audience and his impressive high pitched notes aroused applause, the audience appeared to be more restrained than the audience for his last Beijing show. This may have been the result of less interaction between the audience and the star according to the Beijing Times.

Nevertheless, the two-hour set involved some ten costume changes, all conforming to the musical style of each repertoire.
