Product Description
Studio: Sony Music Release Date: 11/21/2006
Amazon.com
The international sensations Il Divo were brilliantly created by mixing some of today's hottest musical trends: the operatic and classical resurgence carried by the Three Tenors and Andrea Bocelli, the sex appeal of a boy band--and a calculated nod to Beatlemania. (Call them the Fab Forte.) This concert DVD, filmed at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, showcases the quartet's vocal chops and undeniable audience connection. The singers take turns in the glitzy spotlight, delivering a host of international favorites that their fans have come to expect, and they don't disappoint. Highlights include an almost devotional delivery of "Unbreak My Heart (Regresa a mi)" and the French heartbreaker "Pour que tu m'aimes encore." If sometimes their material selection seems more schmaltz than splendore ("Feelings," "All by Myself"), Il Divo fans won't mind a bit. Extras include an intimate behind-the-scenes documentary with interviews with all four members, plus extra tracks including "The Time of Our Lives," a soulful performance with Toni Braxton. Ah, dolce!--A.T. Hurley

 Classy, tasteful, demure... December 4, 2006

Crossing the borders of language and speaking the heart of the matter, these guys are somewhat enchanting to watch - their sets, their faces, their voices... It's an exquisite show. It makes you well up as you return to yourself and the feelings you sometimes hush up.
I don't know how they do it but their voices are so strong and admirable that they can conjure feelings that still don't have adjectives to describe them. They are the voices inside your heart as it breaks, as you love, as you feel the world around you.
I'm hardly one to run off to every concert or event but I really found watching this one quite classy and so I'm saying something small. It's a great production, and for their talent, some credit must also be given to the cameramen and producers who did such a good job of capturing this surreal show.
When I was little it was the Narnian wardrobe that transported me away but today watching this show was like the adult getaway from the concrete jungle and rat race that I sometimes let consume me. It's not cheesy or mushy. For those not afraid to be human, it's just right. However, before I get ahead of myself, it really is an aquired taste and not for everyone. Be selective about the place and time to watch it or else it might be all wrong.
As a side note, I can may be see this being great at dinner parties and Christmas gatherings.
Season's Greetings!
 Almost like being there in person! November 27, 2006

I give this DVD the highest rating because Il Divo reaches all ages with there incredible voices, their charm, the ability to control the audience from the moment they walk on stage. I saw them in person in June in Atlanta, GA and although they had changed a few things in their performance I still felt like I was there all over again. At first I wasn't pleased with the first half of the DVD because I thought it was a bit "over" performed, but then the more I listened to it, the better I began to appreciate their talent even more and LOVED it, all of it. I buy this for all of my friends. They too have become Il Divo fans with a little coaxing from me and none of us can wait for them to tour the USA again. A definite 5 stars!

Great concert DVD. I have seen Il Divo in concert. This DVD gives a nice blend of music, very close to their live show. Not as good as the real thing, but very close. This DVD will make you want to see Il Divo in person. You Should.
The extras are wonderful. The three versions of "Time of Our Lives" are very nice. The coversation interview was very good. Gives one an insight to David, Carlos, Sebastien and Urs. Puts Il Divo in perspective. They appreciate their fans and enjoy the music.
If you love Il Divo you will not want to miss this!!

I hadn't heard of Il Divo until a friend lamented that she and her family couldn't get tickets to a sold-out concert in Canada (they had planned to cross the border for this concert). She then went on to describe in great detail how handsome this international group of singers are. After watching this DVD several times, I couldn't agree more. (Though they are all cute, I think Sebastien is my favorite "divo.")
I wasn't sure how pop songs would translate into a contemporary classical setting---but these songs, "Unbreak My Heart" and "Unchained Melody" sound great. I love the song "Isabel" b/c that same music (Faure's Pavane, Op. 50) is featured in a documentary of the School of American Ballet/NYC Ballet. My favorite song is "I Believe in You." It's not necessarily the best musically of the selections, but the lyrics are so inspirational. If you're feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, etc., play this track on repeat in your DVD player.
Very enjoyable--if you like artists like Sarah Brightman, Charlotte Church, Josh Groban, and Amici Forever, then you're sure to love Il Divo.

I received my Il Divo Live at the Greek Theatre, yesterday. OH MY GOODNESS! Absolutely fantastic and seeing them singing all my favorite songs, Christmas came early for me. Being able to watch them perform on this dvd is as close as I will get to seeing them. Anyone wanting to hear four fantastic voices need to get this dvd, and they aren't hard on the eyes either.
