Well here in Lima again, and surprised by the whole repercussion of the Gala Concert of Sting and fabulous Peruvian tenor Juan Diego Florez at Philadelphia at January 30th (a year ago I mentioned will be a great idea if Sting perform with JDF, so now is possible they will be together at the same stage and day and perhaps could be a great chance to meet them together at the concert or near future - by the way, JDF admires Sting... any confirmation if they singing a duetto together )
Well here some links of this new by the peruvian media:

Is important to mention that "ThePolice.com" announced this concert on 2009...here an extract of what is described Juan Diego Florez talent, by The Police.com:
Juan Diego Flórez is considered the bel canto tenor of choice in major opera houses around the world. His expressive, effortless, and virtuoso singing makes him ideal for the operas of Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini, and his performances and recordings (on Decca) have met with overwhelming critical praise.
Born in Lima, Peru, Mr. Flórez studied at the National Conservatory of Music in Lima and at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. In 1996 he made his official debut at the Rossini Opera Festival, in Pesaro (Italy), substituting for the lead tenor, who fell ill. He was considered an overnight sensation, drawing attention from theaters like La Scala, where he made his debut the same year, at only 23. This happening not only launched his career but also earned him invitations to perform on the world's most important stages, including the Metropolitan Opera in New York, the Royal Opera House (Covent Garden) in London, the Vienna State Opera, the Paris Opera, Madrid's Teatro Real, Barcelona's Gran Teatro Liceo, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, the San Francisco Opera, Zurich Opera, and others.
Mr. Flórez broke tradition at Milan's La Scala in 2007, giving the first encore after 75 years, with the famous nine high C's aria "Ah! mes amis" from La Fille du Régiment. The same happened at the Metropolitan Opera in 2008, in the same opera. London's Observer called him "one of the most exciting vocal talents around," borne out by the fact that Mr. Flórez has engagements worldwide through 2015. He has received the highest decorations from the Peruvian government, and in 2005, at the age of 31, he appeared on a postage stamp honoring Peru's native son.
