After the program concluded, the resounding applause and cheers continued, prompting Domingo to return for an encore, during which he performed five more of the best-loved pieces from his extensive repertoire, including No puede ser from "La tabernera del Puerto", Amor, vida de mi vida from "La maravilla", and Libiamo from "La Traviata", together with other famous art songs: Non ti scordar di me by E.De Curtis, and Granada by Agustín Lara.
Domingo's engaging interactions with his fellow performers further enhanced the joyful atmosphere of the evening, while the compelling performances by Italian conductor Beatrice Venezi, Italy based Chinese soprano Bingbing Wang, and Italian-German mezzo-soprano Anna-Doris Capitelli left the audience spellbound. Each aria concluded with rapturous applause, and the audience's enthusiastic reactions drove the performers on to even greater heights. As the night ended, the audience erupted into heartfelt applause, paying tribute to a majestic performance by the iconic 83-year-old artist.
The interaction with the audience, the venue's presentation, the atmosphere, and the other performers on stage impressed Domingo so much, that he expressed would like to return to Macau for another performance soon.
