In the video above Beyonce performed an emotionally powerful tribute to the legendary Whitney Houston, singing her iconic song, I Will Always Love You followed by her own hit, Halo, dedicated to Houston’s legacy. More video highlights — and pictures and the song-list — below. Here is a round-up of reviews; see what reaction music critics had on opening night, first of the four consecutive concert dates.

Rap-Up.com: “Less than five months after giving birth to her daughter Blue Ivy Carter, Beyoncé was back on stage for her first concert in nearly a year—and she didn’t disappoint….Following an opening set from Def Jam singer Luke James, B took the stage, showcasing new choreography, a new stage design, and new musical arrangements. Shimmering in a fringe dress, she kicked things off with “End of Time” before delving into her catalog of solo hits and Destiny’s Child classics, not missing a step as she performed against a giant LED wall with a full band and dancers including French duo Les Twins.”

New York Times: “With her all-female band and 10 dancers, she performed with serious stamina and rigor; all that made it different from her stadium shows were stunts, staging tricks that couldn’t be pulled off in a 5,500-seat theater, and perhaps a few less costumes. ”

USA Today: “The singer was all business — that is to say, warm and gracious, glamorous and relentless. Backed by an all-female band and a tireless posse of dancers and backup vocalists, Beyonce reasserted her unique pop persona; she was at once angel and seductress, cool diva and woman of the people. ”
