William Baldwin Instagram – At the 69th Annual Taormina International Film Festival in Sicily premiering one of my newest films… Billie’s Magic World.
(More on that in the best few days)
The Taormina Film Festival is one of the worlds most important. It has been attended by legends like Marlene Dietrich, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, and Richard Burton. In recent years stars like Tom Cruise, Robert De Niro, Colin Firth, Monica Bellucci, John Malkovich and Richard Gere have also attended.
I was blessed with the opportunity to attend a very special opening night concert at the 3000 year old Teatro antico di Taormina… the ancient Greek theatre built in the 3rd century BC.
The concert ‘Pavarotti Forever’ honored the greatest tenor the world has ever known… Luciano Pavarotti.
At this concert I blessed and blown way to see a true living legend perform… Plácido Domingo.
The tribute to Pavarotti also included breathtaking performances by Aida Garifullina, Vittorio Grigolo, Marcelo Alvarez, Andrea Griminelli and Mario Biondi.
Truly a night to remember!!
So lucky to be in this business!!
More on our premise later this week.
