-== About the show ==
-=== Music ===
-The set featured the contribution of [[Gustavo Dudamel]], conducting the orchestra of the [[Los Angeles Philharmonic]], as well as Aguilera's own band.<ref name=":0">{{Cite magazine |last=Aniftos |first=Rania |date=2021-07-17 |title=Christina Aguilera Reimagines Her Biggest Hits With the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/concerts/christina-aguilera-philharmonic-hollywood-bowl-recap-9602622/ |access-date=2022-08-15 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}</ref> The set list featured songs from four of Aguilera's English-language albums (excluding 2000's ''[[My Kind of Christmas]]'', 2010's ''[[Bionic (Christina Aguilera album)|Bionic]]'', and 2012's ''[[Lotus (Christina Aguilera album)|Lotus]]''), as well as her rendition of "[[Contigo en la Distancia]]", which is featured on her first Spanish-language album, ''[[Mi Reflejo]]'' (2000). In addition to songs from [[Christina Aguilera discography|her own discography]], Aguilera also performed two covers: [[Etta James]]' "[[At Last]]", and [[James Brown]]'s "[[It's a Man's Man's Man's World]]", both songs she'd previously covered and received acclaim for.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Willman |first=Chris |date=2021-07-18 |title=Christina Aguilera Meets Brass With Brass, Performing With L.A.

-=== Fashion and style ===
-The show's fashion was characterized by several costume changes, which were done over a base outfit, which Aguilera wore the entire show. Aguilera's makeup was done by Etienne Ortega and her hair by Iggy Rosales, while the styling was handled by editor-in-chief of ''[[Interview (magazine)|Interview]]'', [[Mel Ottenberg]]. Ottenberg wrote an article for ''Interview'' documenting the design and styling process.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Ottenberg |first=Mel |date=2021-07-21 |title=Mel Ottenberg on Styling Christina Aguilera's Hollywood Bowl Looks |url=https://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/mel-ottenberg-styling-christina-aguilera-hollywood-bowl-looks |access-date=2022-08-15 |website=Interview Magazine |language=en-US}}</ref>
-=== Set design ===
-Set design for the show was handled by Kristen Vallow.<ref name=":2" /> The show's setting was mostly similar in nature to the regular stage, with the addition of a large white mountain-shaped setpiece. The mountain served as a [[projection screen]], used to project visual effects onto it. Aguilera could also climb to the top through a staircase in the back, as she did during her performances of "[[At Last]]" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World". The mountain was a reference to the 1965 film ''[[The Sound of Music (film)|The Sound of Music]]''. During the show, Aguilera addressed the mountain, saying:<blockquote>I was originally, of course, inspired by the great [[Rodgers and Hammerstein]] and ''The Sound of Music'' being the first thing that ever spoke to me musically. I wanted to be [[Julie Andrews]] on the hills and tonight is that moment for me. I’m just constantly inspired by composers and the way they create worlds and take you to other places and have new perspectives hearing things, it’s just incredible.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /></blockquote>
-== Critical reception ==
-Ranita Aniftos of ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' complimented Aguilera's "mind blowing vocal runs" and called her rendition of "[[At Last]]" an "intoxicating cover of [[Etta James]]' classic".<ref name=":0" /> ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]''<nowiki/>'s Chris William complimented the 70-minute set's fashion and ability to incorporate the orchestra into songs like "[[Dirrty]]".<ref name=":1" />
