IL Divo in concert – Arena of Stars in Resorts World Genting

UPDATE! 19th March 2014:
My written work out in the Malay Mail! 🙂

****************************************************
Last weekend I scored a date night with the melodious and eye-pleasing quartet of Sébastien Izambard, Carlos Marin, David Miller and Urs Bühler; known to the world as Il Divo.
Unfortunately as they left the country they still do not know I exist, but that’s ok.
I have seen them perform live, felt their presence and was serenaded with the most beautiful, pitch perfect vocals.

I have never thought I would enjoy a concert by a cosmopolitan quartet of pop/opera crossover singers. Heck I don’t even know what “pop/opera crossover singers” meant.
But all I know after listening to their first song and subsequent 20 songs, I’m now a converted fan.

As usual media gets to take photos for the first 3 songs only. So that’s all I got. Credit goes to Marshall Ho, my partner in crime that evening for the fabulous images! 🙂
Oh yes, Lea Salonga rocks too.
