! Hola! Como esta.

I have excuse for not gone out for my class today. Whatever it is, I don’t want to let the time run away so slowly; it’s usually happen when we are bore or sad. So, I finally found some interesting article to tell you guys.

Commonly, opera is accepted as one of the most beautiful arts that have ever been created by mankind. Even though, unfortunately, few of us have a change to be familiar and get along very well with this kind of music, since its structure is amazingly complex and not really easy to understand. Worst, many of us feel that it’s not the entertaining stuff, instead, the serious one.

                Now, our story begins…..

Once upon a time, not as long as a time of the fairytales, the American Idol judge, Simon Philip Crowell listened to the rendition “Con Te Partiro” of renowned Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. This is enough to lead him to the idea to form the multinational quartet opera group with a good appearance (handsome in the Amani’s suits) as well as the voice quality (like “the Three Tenors”). For 2 years, this guy was on the quest and finally in 2003, the world was introduced the alternative style of opera “Il divo” 

 Il Divo, “the divine male performer” in Italian, includes (from left to right) Switzerland- native, Urs Buhler; Sabastien Izanbard, the French; the Spaniard, Carlos Marin and the American, David Miller. As their first start, the album “Il divo” was record in Sweden 2004 and gained the popularity among the British by topped all-time-favourite Robbie Williams in UK chart. (RW said “Oi, you’re the bastards that knocked me off” during Bridget Jones : The Edge of Reason gala premiere). It clamed the first position in 13 countries and also ranked in top 5 in 25 countries worldwide. “Ancora”, the second, was record in both Sweden and London under the association of wonderful guitarist Per Magnusson and David Kreuger, and well-known producer Steve Mac. No doubt, it hit the number 1 in the chart of UK, Australia and USA only in the first week.

You guys! If you want to try opera, I suggest you this group. Their operas are friendly and in the same time you can improve your English Spanish Italian French and Latin. Ha Ha!. And in the next few days they will perform “Time of our lives” in the opening ceremony of 2006 FIFA World Cup.

For some of you that have already become their supporters (like me), I think you might love the album of Josh Groban ( “you raise me up” the music video you see in my blog), Andrea Bocelli, Luciano Pavarotti, Patrizio Buanne, and also Keedie.

Well, hope opera will be one of your favourite. Bye

Ps. Il Divo will have a concert at Edinburgh castle in Edunburgh, Scotland in July, shortly after my graduated ceremony day. Wish me to fly there to meet my idol.
