Good Everning/morning everyone. I just wanted to post a quick report, and pics will follow. This was my first concert, so please bear that in mind, if I become entirely too emotional. I'm too Uberized to think clearly.. even hours later.
When we arrived, we had to wait a bit for the venue to open for the evening. Once inside, we found our seats. I saw the stage, the circle, but it didn't seem real yet. As the orchestra took their seats, my chest began to pound. The first strains of the orchestra sounded as the lights dimmed and the excitement began to build. I had heard the cds, watched the videos from other fans, and saw them at GMA, but nothing prepared me for this concert. I took a moment to close my eyes, remembering to bring my forum family with me, Sisters and Daughters, Nieces and friends, you were all there with me as the guys appeared. Their magic filled the arena in nanoseconds.
Cloud nine doesn't begin to describe the feeling. I havent found the words for it yet, but those that have been there know exactly what it is. The concert was a feast of sound and sight. The lighting, the movement as they interacted with their fans was as amazing as their voices.
The voices, well, what can I say that hasn't been said before. They were in top form, full, rich and warm as a each note wrapped around me as a gentle, loving hug. As their momentum built, the tears began to flow, from one exquisite song to the next. When the guys say they put their hearts into their performance, they mean it... something I can say is no longer urban legand, but so real you can all but reach out and hold it in your hand.
As I scanned the faces in the crowd, I could tell I wasn't alone. The glitter in the eyes of the fans touched by the magic of Il Divo that night twinkled like a thousand tiny stars on a clear monlit summr night. The excitement, reflected in 8,000 fans experiencing the vivid tapestry of their evening was no less thrilling than watching an eager child on Christmas morning opening each gift with the tenderest of care, to stare in awe at the wonderful present that lay before them.
The tears fell most during BOTW for me.. it was hard to hold them back to focus the camera on the stage. So, if some are a little blurry, as you will see later, blame it on the tears... and accept my deepest apologies. From that song on, I couldn't stop shaking or tearing up off and on.
A famous person once said a picture paints a thousand words... for me, the pictures I carry from tonight, and tomorrow will be more than I can ever type. But Il Divo isn't about just the words, their song in delicate four part harmony, fills volumes beyond any picture I could ever take, create or draw. For me, that is and always be the unique magic of Il Divo. The love shared in that arena... the fans here and around the world joined with them in a loving melody that no one else will ever hear, but those that love Il Divo.
For that, I will be eternally grateful. God Bless Il Divo forever and always,
Sandie
