2016 - Opera di Firenze, Italy 31 December - Reports/Pics/Vids

Can't believe 2016 ended on such a happy and high note! Very glad went to both shows. Nice subtle touch to the slight change in sequences on 31st, maybe to keep him on his toes?

 

It was a family vacation and I am so glad that my kids first symphonic experience was in this world class theatre. My kids play the flute, piano and drums. Younger one sings too. So this has definitely inspired them to carry on being in school performances. I think my 10yo finally understands why I love his live performances, she said "He sounds so much better live" and shook her head :facepalm: . They watch many of the current pop stars on Youtube and because their standard is set high by Mika, they are aghast at how many stars use autotune or lip sync.

 

My favourites : Origin of love, Happy ending, Heroes, Stardust.....Thank you Simon le Clerc for the wonderful arrangements!!!

 

It was also great meeting up with the 3 Italians and 1 Korean Mika fans who was part of my Kickstarter  group of 10. Been 6 months of angst and stress over whether the concert would happen, where are our seats, gala dinner details....BUT we made it! Grazie mille!

 

2016 started very well with me winning the UNHCR lucky draw, meeting him in HK...Bercy Paris....Palladium London and Florence. What more can a fan ask for  :wub:

 

Looking forward to new album is an understatement :cheer:  :cheer:  :cheer:

Cheers to MFC's 10th anniversary and blessing Mika with more good things in his future :fairy:

Incroyable, fantastique et inoubliable fin d'année à Florence, ville magnifique, avec, en plus, les illuminations et décors de Noël !

 

J'ai savouré chaque seconde des deux prodigieux concerts.

is there any way to still see the videos? looks like they have been removed... :(

I'm so sad because they have removed videos, but Opera Theater of Florence complained about the violation of rights..

I understand their request but they were only videos for remember the special evenings for those who were present and those who have not had the opportunity to be there. I need those videos!!! They are so beautiful! Camille is so good! She is an angel!

I know... that's why I asked. Camille is saving me all the time with her videos. She's amazing.

I noticed that some are still there so I guess they only complained about hers because she wrote whole title of the opera? I dont know. Hope they will be avalible somewhere ;)

Here are a few pictures taken at the "encore"

The concert was as beautifull as the previous day and closing it with everybody singing "underwater" was a marvelous ending of a wonderfull "Mikayear"

The idea of making noise to afraid bad spirits was brilliant too

Thanks for sharing. Watching the videos you and the other fans have shooted during the concerts, makes me appreciate even more the talent and the hard work that a live performance need. You as a reporter and Mika ad singer did a very good job!
