It was a "Valentine's" concert. My wife and I were simply blown away last night at Amalie Arena, in Tampa, by just how majestic and soothing, yet powerful, Bocelli sounds live in concert. He commands the stage for sure! He was supposed to have his son and daughter sing, too (I thought), but they did not. I don't know if he normally does this, but he brought his wife on stage and they sang one song together. Very touching. His guest singers were Nadine Sierra and Pia Toscano -- WOW !!! He also brought solo violinist Caroline Campbell. Another WOW !! His two guest dancers (sorry, I forgot their names) entertained as they danced to certain songs. This concert was a Christmas gift to my wife (date night!!) and she scolded me (sort of) after finding out what I spent on the tickets, but after they sang her favorite song (Time To Say Goodnight), I looked at her while she was clapping hard, smiling ear to ear, with tears flowing down her face, and said -- WORTH IT!!

Seeing Andrea Bocelli perform live was a check off of my bucket list. There were moments where I literally held my breath and his performance of Con Te Partiro brought tears to my eyes. It was as amazing as I had hoped it would be. Period.

First of all, I feel so honored that I was at one of his concerts. Me and my husband were moved to tears, when he performed "Time To Say Goodbye". I was touched when his wife and daughter appeared on stage at the end of the concert. I though it was beautiful that when the crowd would applaud, he would grinned like a little boy. You could tell he loved singing to us. At the end of the concert he came back out like three times. The last time he came out and spoke to us. Andrea wanted us to know that he had just lost his voice three days prior and he almost seemed worried that he disappointed people. The audience laughed at that, because his voice was absolutely beautiful! I will go to his concerts every time he comes to Tampa. His guest did a great job as well. Everything was spectacular!! What a beautiful Soul he is!!

If you have not seen Bocelli, I would urge you to mage plans when you can. His Denver show was fantastic from start to finish.

The concert was unforgettable. However, I wish the program was provided along with the name of performers. So talented people and compositions remained uncovered.

To say that this concert was phenomenal would be an enormous understatement! Andrea Bocelli did not just deliver the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard but with each song, also gave the audience his heart and soul - many times bringing us to tears and countless times to our feet! And if his wonderful performance was not enough, he unselfishly shared the stage with many other talented performers - his adorable daughter Virginia, a beautiful soprano, a humorous, but riveting baritone, a stunning pop artist - not to mention the incredible dancers, an amazing flutist and an insanely talented artist who painted Bocelli’s picture, live on stage!! Oh, and let’s not forget that he also paired these incredible performances with our own Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and Milwaukee singers. A truly unforgettable event that I will cherish forever! A huge Thank You to my beautiful daughter, Tina, for making this all happen. Much love for a wonderful night of entertainment! ❤️
