Jackie Evancho in Costa Rica: an angelic voice 11/26/2014 12:00 am By Katherine R. Chaves Two screens on the sides of the main stage announced at 8:30 p. m. Monday, those who wanted to order food or drinks, had only five minutes to do so. After that time, no eating nor drinking. All should turn their attention to the guest artist of the evening: American soprano Jackie Evancho, 14. She visited a country in Latin America for the first time. With a dark blue dress gala, Jackie appeared and she stood at center of the stage in the ballroom of the Intercontinental Hotel. Behind her, the conductor Marvin Araya and the Philharmonic Orchestra. On screen could see sharp images of nature. With a shy smile without saying a word, she took the microphone and sang Take Me There. Her interpretation surprised all the spectators who paid tickets for ¢ 93,000 and ¢ 110,000 to listen her live. When she finished the song, the singer bowed to the public and, in a low voice, she thanked in her language: Thank you (Gracias). While the musicians and Jackie were preparing for the next performance, a man sitting in the platinum area (farthest from the stage area), took the time to call to a woman, he put her on speaker so she it can be part of the show. My love, what will she sing now? Asked the female voice, unaware that to everyone around her was being listening. I dont know, lets hear, but speaks softly because I put you on speaker, the man whispered to his cell. Those who were at his side, booed, but the moment in which Jackies voice rang through the speakers again, to sing Made to Dream, everyone forgot the claim. People moved their bodies side to side to the rhythm of the song; others captured the moment with the phone. Before interpreting her third song, Memories, Jackie thanked the public for supporting her. Thank you very much I hope you enjoy the show, thank you for coming, she said. That was one of the few interactions that she had with the Ticos (Tico colloquial speech to designate Costa Rican people) Thus, songs like The Impossible Dream and Your Love came to further raise the chemistry between Jackie and her audience. However, one of the most immersive point was when she sang Je taime. No one spoke, everyone stared at the stage. It was amazing that a girl of 14 years old sing like that. Whats wonderful voice! Said one lady to another lady, with her hands to her mouth. Thus, at 9 p. m., completed the first part of the concert. Half an hour later, Jackie appeared with a cream gown with golden highlights. Her version of Ave Maria opened the box, revealing that the second segment of the presentation would be unbeatable. She did not let the spectators will recover from such a wonderful interpretation. Immediately after she sang My Heart Will Go On, by Celine Dion. On the screen behind her, a sea view, which made the audience feel traveling aboard a cruise, as happens in the movie Titanic by James Cameron (1997). Some viewers were encouraged to imitate one of the most romantic moments between the protagonists of the film, Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet) when both go up to the railing of the ships bow, extend their arms and receive wind in their faces. Yes, all mimicking were sitting in their chairs. While they were enjoying themselves, Jackie reached down, took the water bottle, and took a sip and put it back on the floor. She was ready to continue the repertoire that she brought, a duet with the Costa Rican tenor Joaquín Yglesias. They sang together Say Something. The ended came from the hand of the magical interpretation that Jackie made of Think of Me, a song from the musical The Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber (1986). It was emotional for her, since this work awoke, six years ago, her love for the music. This is a very important song for me Jackie said. That would be her second and last interaction with the public. The audience, which had remained modest during the show, stood up and applauded. Nothing screams, just hear whispers that they were satisfied for the show. Before Jackie Evancho out to sing for the first time to a Latin American audience, the pianist Pablo Esquivel, 15, and Costa Rican tenor Joaquín Yglesias were performed. Esquivel came around 7:40 p. m. and in about 20 minutes, he played pieces by Frédéric Chopin, Ludwig van Beethoven and Moritz Moszkowski. In concluding his presentation, appeared an elegant Walter Campos. To entertain the audience, the host began interviewing Esquivel; however, a question made plain unknown of Campos on the subject. This is the first time that you show in Costa Rica, which means for you? asked the host, a quiet Esquivel replied: No, I have performed many times in the country. An aide described perfectly what fields might feel at the time: He must be looking forward to swallow the earth for asking that question. Overcome the embarrassing moment, Yglesias did the same on stage and with his voice and impeccable presence, conquered more than one. Hes very handsome, is talented, I like him, said a girl to her friend. Little interaction, but so many talent. Jackie Evancho went through Costa Rica and left everyone in awe of her voice and her angelic image.
