Aside from the content, the short drama had Vietnamese royal music and folk songs combined with modern dances and beatboxing, leading the audience from the scene of royal court, to wedding ceremony of prince Mai An Tiem, Hung King’s wrath, to difficulties and efforts of Mai An Tiem and his wife to earn a living on an uninhabited island.
The showmanship of the artists, actors, dancers and musicians contributed to the appeal of the 2020 traditional art show about Vietnamese Tet. The show featured numerous Hue royal songs and music. Well-prepared modern dances and line dances were also the attractive features of the show. In addition, the LED screen helped to convey the contents of the drama and art performances to the audience.
The final part of the art show featured the songs about spring, performed by singers of Nha Trang City and Hon Que Huong traditional music band from Ho Chi Minh City.
