The general director of the Festival, Adi Krasta, appeared on stage to thank the sponsors.
Then he presented the other artistic point of the Festival. The stage has turned into that of an improvised theater. Perhaps the most ideal stage for the major classical form, but with very poor acoustics. It was the aria "Casta diva" from the opera "Norma" by Bellini, which was performed by the outstanding soprano, Besa Llugiqi, accompanied by the Choir of the Kosovo Philharmonic. In the Orchestra, the majority are the instrumentalists of this institution.
It was considered a brave decision to bring classical music to the stage of a festival with new musical currents.
Actor Bujar Ahmeti has come on stage with a message - preserving the language.
"We are the only people who speak the Albanian language. The new generations must learn the Albanian language and show that we are old in this world", said the actor Ahmeti after interpreting the poem "Albanian language" by Gjergj Fishta.

The prominent Albanian violinist on the international scene, Olen Çezari, was the other soloist who brought a contemporary instrumental work with the Festival orchestra.
"There is not a single day that I have not carried this instrument with me", he said on stage.
He is considered one of the greatest violinists in the world.
Another well-known name, but as far as the fun song is concerned, was Alban Skënderaj.
"I started my career in parallel in Kosovo and Albania. Both countries have helped me, they have grown me a lot as an artist and I have learned a lot from the friends of the two countries", said Skënderaj on stage.
