Dear Friends,

Thank you for visiting my website. I wanted to express my thanks for your support and encouragement. I have heard often from you, both long time and new friends who have honored me with your support.

I want to thank my many friends who have been particularly supportive over the last year and a half since my injury on the stage of Opera Frankfurt. It was tough to be bed ridden for some time and slowly get back both my body and voice.

I guess this puts many things in persepective for me. It makes me realize first of all how easily what one builds can come down, but also reaffirms in me the need to be humble in this career. Fear of not making it can often cloud judgment, and along with the beautiful stuff of a career in this art, there is always the sad, and even the mistake.

After all, we are only entertainers, but I thank God for the chance to discover more, and express myself through my art.

I want to thank my wonderful three women, my wife and two daughters, for their patience and support. No matter what our circumstances, the rollercoaster of a career this can be, I have already been truly a fortunate person to have had you next to me. I am much more than a singer thanks to you!

My best wishes to all those who have come to visit my site. Please email me, and keep in contact. Lets fill the void of distance and time by letting each other know how things are going...

Lots of love and hugs

Gioacchino
