Filmed in the elegant surroundings of the 19th century Teatro Sociale in Como, Italy, this amazing show features MIKA performing all his best-loved songs accompanied by a full orchestra conducted by Simon Leclerc. The show is a perfect fusion of pop and orchestral and includes tracks from his most recent album, the critically acclaimed 'No Place In Heaven', alongside hits from across his hugely successful career. As ever, MIKA is a charming and amiable host and is clearly in his element interacting with the orchestra and conductor Simon Leclerc. This is a magical performance captured in beautiful surroundings and not to be missed.TRACKLISTING1) Overture 2) Underwater 3) Boum Boum Boum 4) Rain 5) Last Party 6) Overrated 7) Any Other World 8) Love You When I'm Drunk 9) Ordinary Man 10) Heroes 11) Toy Boy 12) Grace Kelly 13) Over My Shoulder 14) Good Guys 15) Make You Happy 16) Happy Ending 17) Origin Of Love 18) Relax, Take It Easy 19) Elle Me Dit 20) Love Today 21) Stardust

Fabulous Concert!
First, it should be noted that the DVD included in this set is a Region 0 video DVD, and not a DVD-Audio as the Amazon description currently states. As for the concert, I find it fantastic. I already owned it on Blu-ray, but getting this 3-disc set, which has the audio on 2 CD's and the video on DVD, was less expensive than getting just the 2-CD version.If you like Mika's music, I would think that it is highly likely that you will greatly enjoy this concert. It is fun, elegant and full of life, and I find it very uplifting.Here are the details of the contents, per discogs.com:Label: Universal Music Group – EAGDV057, Eagle Vision – EAGDV057Format: 2 × CD, AlbumDVD, DVD-Video, NTSCCountry: EuropeReleased: 26 May 2016TracklistCD1-1 OvertureCD1-2 UnderwaterCD1-3 Boum Boum BoumCD1-4 RainCD1-5 Last PartyCD1-6 OverratedCD1-7 Any Other WorldCD1-8 Love You When I'm DrunkCD1-9 Ordinary ManCD1-10 HeroesCD2-1 Toy BoyCD2-2 Grace KellyCD2-3 Over My ShoulderCD2-4 Good GuysCD2-5 Make You HappyCD2-6 Happy EndingCD2-7 Origin Of LoveCD2-8 Relax (Take It Easy)CD2-9 Elle Me DitCD2-10 Love TodayCD2-11 StardustDVD-1 OvertureDVD-2 UnderwaterDVD-3 Boum Boum BoumDVD-4 RainDVD-5 Last PartyDVD-6 OverratedDVD-7 Any Other WorldDVD-8 Love You When I'm DrunkDVD-9 Ordinary ManDVD-10 HeroesDVD-11 Toy BoyDVD-12 Grace KellyDVD-13 Over My ShoulderDVD-14 Good GuysDVD-15 Make You HappyDVD-16 Happy EndingDVD-17 Origin Of LoveDVD-18 Relax (Take It Easy)DVD-19 Elle Me DitDVD-20 Love TodayDVD-21 StardustBonus FeaturesDVD-22 Interviews with Mika and Simon Leclerc

Mika is a treasure and a delight.
I ran across Mika in a Dame Edna spot on YouTube and just for fun watched a few of his videos. It wasn't until I saw the one for "Good Guys" with a full orchestra that I sat up and moved to the edge of the sofa. I came directly to Amazon and ordered this DVD. Is he the greatest ever, well no. But this particular concert is beautiful. Like myself none of my friends knew of him either. All were pleased. It is fun to watch alone and play selections when you have company. If you are already a Mika fan you will especially enjoy it.

Fantastic
The new symphonic arrangements are amazing, and Mika seems to be having a lot of fun performing them with the revamped music. The only thing I didn’t like was that even at 109 minutes, the concert seemed short, and I wanted to see and hear more. But if I got my wish, the concert would have been 10 hours long, which admittedly is a bit excessive.

Comparison to Freddie Mercury made me look and listen and I am so glad I did.
What a talent. I love MIKA's originality. Everything and everyone performing in this concert is superb. I can't stop singing and dancing to his music. Even though I can't dance and I'm a terrible singer.

A beautiful collection of his hits within a symphonic environment. A joy and a delight to have discovered

You should buy this if you're a MIKA fan
This is a DVD, not a CD, just to clarify. But if you're a fan of MIKA and/or Orchestra, than you're going to love this. I would and will hands down recommend this to other MIKA fans. It's a real shame that he's not really well known in America tho. Also, you'll need to turn on subtitles if you don't speak Italian, but the majority or the song are English. There's even interviews with MIKA and the conductor, Simon Leelere.I don't regret buying this at all.

MIKA outdoes himself splendidly.
SINFONIA POP. [...] It is SO good. Don't just take my word for it. Look at this >---> #1 from DVD charts in France [...] ! If you're a MIKA fan, you'll love it. If you've never heard of him, time to get to know him. To know him is to love him.

Fantastic performance By Mika who has evolved so much as a singer and musician. He can only get better and I can't wait for his 5th album! The DVD has interviews in English which was a great surprised as this was filmed in Italy. There are subtitles in a few languages when he speaks in Italian during the performance. He is such a lovable guy, there is a classic "Mika-style" funny moment when he introduced the wrong song. His expression is classic and it was great that they saw it fit not to delete the scene.

This is a lovely release. MIKA isn't as energetic as he usually is on his live shows - if you've seen him you know he can't stop running around - but it is fitting for the venue that he is a bit more collected. Charming as ever as the blurb says. The songs gain new life being played by an orchestra and this really is a must have if you appreciate MIKA and his life performances.

Excellent and Entertaining.
Excellent and entertaining product that I would highly recommend. Reflects MIKA's classically trained talent to the full without deviating from his popular hits. Thoroughly enjoyable show from a true professional.
