Right at the time when the stage of Cai Luong is glorious with big names such as Snow White, Ngoc Rich, Phuong Lien, Minh Vuong, Le Thuy, Thanh Sang...

Bao Anh stepped on the big stage to play a beautiful double role on the same stage with famous artists: Bat Trang Ancient Tale with the name Phuong Lien, Confiding in Ngoc Han with My Chau, Spring Swallow with Kieu Phuong Loan (Snow White worked as a director after studying abroad in the UK). As he said: artists Phuong Lien and Ngoc Rich have "broken hands, broken legs" to shape him how to sing and act.
