Hi Pietro and welcome to the forum. How fortunate of you to have been able to listen to Michael sing live in this wonderful setting! Can you tell us if Michael sang “The prayer”, “Hallelujah” and/or anything else? Also, how did he sound? The reason I’m asking is that in case you didn’t know, Michael’s been sick with bronchitis for the past week and we all wondered how he was recovering… The concert description sounds heavenly so I for one am very envious and can only imagine how wonderful it was… Well, thanks for sharing Pietro, take care. Hugs, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada

Well last night I saw the sound check/rehearsal but I thought he was great....yes he sang both songs and did very good although I had the impression that he didn't want to push too much with the voice,maybe to keep the energy for the real singing for the concert,today.
Ciao!
