For two days the Washington, DC area suffered with dark skies, rain and even flooding, but on concert day –

the sun finally came out in the afternoon!  We were ready for Il Volo!

See the little X on the left of the stage – this is where Marie, Alicia and Michele sat!  They turned out to be REALLY good seat!

Just after 8 PM – Gianluca, Ignazio and Piero burst on stage with amazing energy and enthusiasm, which they sustained the entire concert!  The guys really seemed to be enjoying themselves and so were the fans!  I have about 500 pictures – they all won’t be good  – video was not allowed, yet I think some may turn up on YouTube though I did not take any!  The songs may have varied a little from previous concerts – Ignazio sang Memory, Gianluca and Piero sang their 2 solos, we heard Beautiful Day, This Time and Smile as well as many of the others people have mentioned, Il Canto, We Are Love, El Triste and Il Mondo!  This was a fantastic concert – it’s after 2 am – and I want to get a few pictures up – more to come later – Marie and I will be meeting Elaine soon in Detroit and we all will travel to Chicago where Kelly will join us and I will be going on to Philly!  Marie and I introduced ourselves to Barbara and Mrs. Ginoble tonight  – they are lovely!  I don’t think you will need any help identifying the photos below!  Oh, did I mention – the voices, the voices were absolutely amazing tonight!  Thank you Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca for your hard work – we loved it!    Good night and enjoy!    Michele (MFA or mfazzara)
