Approximately 3000 special guests attended the event which included musical appearances by baritone Thomas Hampson, mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, the violin virtuoso József Lendvay and Italian singer Lucio Dalla. These performances benefited from an L-Acoustics sound system provided by Lab Shanghai. A combination of KUDO and dV-DOSC arrays were used for the FOH system, complemented by SB218 subwoofers and dV-SUBs. In addition 115FM stage monitors were used as front fills and 115XT HiQs were utilised for the VIP Section.
Show designers Kenny and Don from Lab Shanghai reported, "We needed to hide the speaker cabinets on the ceiling while ensuring sound quality and complete coverage of the audience. Consequently we used a configuration using hung dV-DOSC as stage monitors and left and right KUDO arrays allowed to minimise the wall reflection and made a warm atmosphere in this huge studio."
