The announcement of the IL DIVO “Musical Affair” show was welcomed with a smile on many women faces and made them really happy.
I expected tiptop event and indeed the IL DIVO show went beyond my expectations. Il DIVO gentlemen, with a special guest Ms.Lea Salonga, performed phenomenally. The show would not be the same without Carlos “dirty jocks”, elegance and classy of Urs and David and of course American joker Sebastian - they balanced each other out perfectly. Ms. Lea Salonga added the feminine but strong touch to the whole spectacle. The right songs were chosen to be performed and the same remind us that each of IL DIVO gentlemen is a unique individual.
In my opinion the NAC was not the best choice for the IL DIVO concert. Those IL DIVO gentlemen perform at the highest caliber and sadly to say the NAC did not bring out the fullness of it – The NAC sound system was not powerful enough. At the beginning of the Musical Affair” show it was like watching a peacock, whose magnificent train’ cannot be fully exposed, and admired because the cage is too small – the NAC sound system was nowhere near close to meet IL DIVO greatness
I want to think that the person who created stage scenography had a good intention; however the images were cheesy, distractive and unnecessary. The IL DIVO with Ms.Lea Salonga was enough to admire.
