I have been reading the reviews of other amazon customers and all of them are very complementary. One mentiones that he does not understand the scorn towards him from the opera world. The answer is simple-the man is terrible. As a student of opera and the voice I am appalled to see such a discrace to the profession getting concerts. If you have ever heard him singing without the aid of microphones adn speakers you would really know the sham that is Andrea Bocelli. First of all his voice has no carrying power. He lacks basic knowlege of breath and support. The only thing he has going for him is an italian sounding voice. Sorry people if you want to learn of opera as it should be sung by those who have proven themselves on stage for decades listen to the 3 tenors. After listening to them you will find out what a true beautiful voice and love for the art is. LA Lastly I feel I must point out the other sad side of this. Some other person pointed out that Bocelli reminded him of another of his favorite classical singers, Sarah Brightman. This is the only thing I can agree with. She is without a doubt the worst female voice since Florence Foster Jenkins(anyone who wants to laugh really hard find a copy of her and listen.) The only way she got parts on Broadway was the fact that her husband was none other than ANDREW LLOYD WEBER. Bocelli is TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE, and a whole lot of other bad words that I can’t write and still be posted. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS DVD AND THEN SAY YOU LIKE OPERA. HE IS NOT AN OPERA SINGER. SAYING THAT IS A MOCKERY OF 400 YEARS OF ART.

I did not think that this was a very good recording. I do not think this man is a good singer. The most fun I had was reading the reviews for this product. I agree with Figaro and what he said-the man is terrible. This is coming from an amazingly not bitter 20 year old voice student. It actually gives me hope that if a singer this BAD can make it, that maybe someday I will too. Keep singing Bocelli, by the time I debut people will see a good singer as something of the past

Many so-called “professional” studiers of opera and the voice treat Andrea Bocelli like s**t. That’s probably `cause they say Andrea hasn’t made his professional mark. True, he may not be a professional, but ever since I heard him, I never grew weary of him. Even the young Luciano Pavarotti, on the 1967 recording of Verdi’s “Requiem,” just left me little interested in his Bocelli-like sentimental clichés, but if I heard him now, he wouldn’t take my breath away. He even said so himself: Andrea is better than him. The professionals who hate Andrea and call him an impostor obviously just think Bocelli can’t hack it in opera. They may think that Andrea sounds like a stand-up comedian wanting to become popular. Bulls**t. I think sexy Bocelli did enough to blow away the likes of the Three Tenors, whom he makes seem like the Three Stooges, professionals or not. Where the Three Tenors and several other classical singers I used to like, Sarah Brightman in particular, just drew me and then let go after a while, this man Andrea practically floored me, so much that now I’m held prisoner for life. To believe that no classical singer can ever wake me up out of my love for sexy Bocelli. I’m only 17, and it seems that I may be the youngest devout fan of Andrea Bocelli in the history of the world…..
