Bocelli himself tells us on this DVD that he met his wife when he was singing in a piano bar.  I had two simultaneous thoughts.  One, the woman would have been powerless to resist him just upon hearing him. Secondly, what must have the patrons have felt like after walking into a piano bar for a drink or conversation upon hearing this singing?  I would have been absolutely bowled over.  I can't imagine carrying on a conversation with anyone, or even drinking, while this force of nature cascaded over me.  Do I know much about opera?  I've seen movies of various operas and I have seen it live.  I prefer it in movie format, which marks me as a philistine right from the start.  I also have a few recordings of operas and my favorite is one that has all the prime cuts from the movie versions.  A philistine again, right?
