Was at the Detroit Opera House Detroit PBS sponsored IL VOLO Concert taping... was awesome... got seats in the 2nd row balcony [[usually Trustee Circle $$$ seats). Forgot how close to the action the front of the balcony can be at the Opera House. The audience was great...the performance... breathtaking... the power that these 3 kids have in their powerful voices is nothing short of incredible.
One song they didn't sing was one of my favorites, a Spanish love song... Hasta El Final... it showcases the true power of their voices... [[and why they already have 2 Latin Grammy nominations)...

The Opera House stage was decked out in their best ancient Roman stage props... 4 enormous columns and a massive stone staircase. The atmosphere was festive, since all outtakes were done so that a second take would be done if not flawless the first time. We got 3 full hours of concert music, with some really funny banter between the performers and the producers... when they weren't entertaining us with their voices, they were entertaining us with their wit!
IL VOLO had a 50 piece orchestra, and world renowned Steven Mercurio as guest conductor. Looking forward to the December 7 [[8PM) world premier only on Detroit PBS.
