Phuket Show?

[Gandtee]

I have seen no reports on the Andre Boccacelli performance. Have there been any? All very low profile. Was it a success I wonder? The local opera buffs must have been breaking the doors down to see it. A magnificent tenor.

Cost a  lot of money ....benefits , returns to the country ? , minimal I suspect .

Seen a phone video on here , seemed very few people there , judging from

the applause , as you say very low profile ,

We attended and, and as he does Andre performed beautifully for us. His voice live is far more beautiful than any recording. It was, as Worgeordie said, a small crowd which we also enjoyed. It was for us a glorious evening and one of great beauty. Just the ticket for my soul that's for sure, my love and I had tears in our eyes both at some stages of the performance.  We drive home afterwards in a blissful kind of silence. Worth every penny to me.

Neither have I heard anything.

 

I'd assume it wasn't as popular nor successful as promoted.

 

TAT and the government run newspapers would be gushing praise if it had been a success.

 

Seems they just want to brush it under the rug and forget about it.

Just a little ditty about a reporter having the same questions about the show.

I thought it was free?

 

The government paid upwards of a million baht for it.

I doubt Mr. Bocelli gets out of bed for less than 100k USD (3+ million baht).
