Concerto: One Night in Central Park (2011)

Concerto: One Night in Central ParkI had to watch it twice to fully let the show sink in as this is a longer and more vocally demanding show compared to his previous Vivere. Some pretty complex opera songs are performed, so take your time to digest this.

Opera buffs would be pleased as Concerto's Act 1 shews more towards classics from Verdi and Puccini with help from guests Bryn Terfel, Ana Maria Martinez, Pretty Yende and the New York Philharmonic.

Act 2 trots out the pop classics such as More with Chris Botti, The Prayer with Celine Dion and New York, New York with Tony Bennett. Andrea Griminelli does a really buzzing The Flight Of The Bumblebee on flute. Italian favourites such as Nel Blu, Dipinto Di Blu (Volare) also got the raincoat clad crowd swinging. It closes with the signature Time To Say Goodbye and then Andrea does the soaring Nessun Dorma from Puccini's Turandot, bringing the show to an explosive climax!

Concerto brings back the wonderful memory of Andrea's show on 8 May 2010 held at Singapore's Botanic Gardens. Special guests include soprano Sabina Cvilak, flutist Anrea Griminelli and singer Delta Goodrem. Eugene Kohn conducted Singapore's Philharmonic Orchestra. Organised by Tan Sri (Dr) Francis Yeoh, MD of Malaysia's YTL Corp, tickets are free and audience members are picked through ballot. I could not get the tickets to see Andrea directly and had to settle for tickets to see him via video screen. But audiences are treated to complimentary Kentucky Fried Chicken meals and ice cream. The souvenir bag had a programme, a 3 Tenors DVD, raincoats and bottled water among many other things. A truly unforgettable evening!

I highly recommend this DVD. I have other DVD and CD's by him and none have disapointed me. The songs and guests have always been great.

This is a great show, but it has a little too much opera for us. If you like opera, you'll love this; His best stuff for most Americans would be 'Live in Tuscany' or 'Under the Desert Sky' out by Lake Las Vegas. Those two I think are his best, but this one is right up there with them if you like opera.
