This was the fourth occasion to hear the magnificence of Andrea Bocelli's vocal instrument in all of its power, subtlety, and nuance! The hair may be getting more grey, but the voice becomes even more mature and controlled each year that passes. The choice of program with its mixture of aria, neopolitan song, and love duets strikes just the right chord. The orchestral pieces interspaced with the flautist, the ravishing voice of the Spanish soprano, and the powerful duet with Miss Headley (who was a most welcome return performer) wove a very special evening indeed. Mr. Bocelli is always wise in his selection of music - and always includes a blend of his most popular commercial successes to please all in the audience. 'Con te' is always the perfect conclusion! Hurry back Andrea!!!

When I read the reviews in my local newspaper I was sure the reporter was deaf. I have attended many concerts in my lifetime from Garth Brooks to Josh Groban, and this was the most fantastic concert I have ever attended. Even though I did not understand the words, the beauty of the music brought tears to my eyes and I found myself emotionally moved. I had purchased the tickets while my husband was out of town and not in telephone contact. This is the first concert I have ever purchased tickets for withouth his knowledge and approval so I was a little nervous as to whether he would enjoy the concert. After the first few bars of the concert he affirmed that if we ever had the opportunity to come to another Bocelli concert, we would be there. It was an incredible performance and we loved every minute. We certainly plan to attend any future Bocelli concerts in the Southern California area. We thank Mr. Bocelli for sharing his talent and class with all who attended. When Mr. Bocelli smiles he lights up the stage. When he sings he lights up your life. Again..... Thank you!

Going to the concert was a Birthday gift for my wife. I've seen him before on TV and have listened to him but attending the concert in person moved me to the point where tears were rolling down my face. The music, his voice and smile and the entire evening was a beautiful experience. For me, as a child, I had several problems with my eyes on and off over the years (now 52). I've been self conscious about my appearance and how people perceive me. To see and hear Andrea on the evening of July 7th, well it changed my life. He is a truly beautiful person and his music and smile moved me to where I now feel like a different person in that we are all beautiful, no matter what differences we have. Thanks Andrea for an evening I will never forget. And Thanks to the other artists and the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra too. It was a wonderful evening. JVH (Fool)
