Announced on Christmas Eve, it was the best Christmas present ever for me, to know Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero will come to Germany, Berlin, for an Avant Première special screening event on 13th February. Living near Munich but having a friend in Berlin, I booked a flight that would have gone right after my morning duty as nurse. The Ticket for the event was really expensive because it would have been a part of a trade fair of media. The days flew by and 13 February arrived and I was “in volo” to Berlin not knowing but hoping I would have seen 3 talented, warmhearted, sincere and loving ragazzi. After I met and talked with my friend, I went to the Scandic Hotel Potzdamer Platz, where the event was about to take place and my friend would have picked me up later again.
In the hotel, I went to the third floor… I explained and asked the really sweet, kind ladies of Avant Première that I just came to see Il Volo, because they are so amazing, if there was a possibility to buy just a ticket for the evening. They looked at me and smiled, gave me the bracelet to enter the event… she said “here you go, have fun and enjoy”! I was really touched and thought I was dreaming… I couldn’t stop thanking them with tears of happiness in my eyes.
After everybody had taken place, the presenter told a little bit about Il Volo and Notte Magica with Plàcido Domingo before a film was shown, first about Plàcido Domingo, Josè Carreras and Pavarotti and then it went to Firenze… pieces of the concert and interview with Il Volo. After that, the presenter announced a little surprise… coming from Italy… Il Volo! Then Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca entered.
Gianluca introduced in English that the wish of them is to spread Bel canto into the world… the music began and he joked a little… he asked for an applause for the orchestra… “‘O Sole mio”… they were really amazing. Then Ignazio introduced the next song… “Maria”… I swear that they really nearly killed me softly… I had tears in my eyes. Gianluca introduced the last song “’O surdato ‘nnamuorato”… they received a big, big applause and got a little present.
Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca came to me and they seemed so happy, smiling… I gave each a little present, typical Bavarian sweet, and Gianluca a little birthday cake sweet… we laughed, talked a little… a selfie with Ignazio, then I asked Piero for a picture… Then there was Gianluca. Before I knew, he took my phone and we made a selfie all together. Then it was time for me to leave… the photographers took them to take pictures and I didn’t want to disturb them more… they should enjoy the rest of the evening.

I left the hotel by thanking, with my whole heart, the ladies who made this possible. I joined my friend but in my thoughts and heart I was still in the hotel. I was sleepless in Berlin but the happiest and luckiest lady on earth.
