Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Gloria Fiona, accompanied by her 9-piece live band, delivered a remarkable tribute to musical superstar Adele on January 10th at Teatro Vallarta Centro Cultural, Puerto Vallarta’s largest performance theater and cultural center. Throughout this thrilling evening, we heard many of Adele’s hit songs and enjoyed Gloria’s celebration of one of music’s favorite entertainers.
Adele is an English singer-songwriter who is known for her mezzo-soprano vocals and sentimental songwriting. She has received numerous accolades including 16 Grammy Awards, 12 Brit Awards (including three for British Album of the Year), an Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. Her songs reflect her life experiences and the journey of the heart.
Gloria Fiona’s Adele Tribute Show was one of the best performances of the 2024 entertainment season in Vallarta, and Gloria and her team of musicians worked very hard to bring this high-quality production to Teatro Vallarta for even more entertainment lovers to enjoy.
In paying homage to such an extraordinary vocalist like Adele, most would fall short, but Gloria is phenomenal! Her appearance, her choreography, her vocals and even her enthusiasm matched the legend. The live band/orchestra composed of violins, cello, guitars, drums and piano, skillfully accompanied Gloria and her 2 background singers.
Gloria’s passion over the past few years has been to create a tribute show worthy of the superstar whom she adores and wants to represent on stage. Last season, Gloria and the band debuted the Adele Tribute to 5 sold-out shows at The Palm Cabaret. This year’s Adele Tribute at Teatro Vallarta was a fulfillment of her dream, making the show available to a much larger audience. Every song was amazing and the audience went absolutely wild for the show.
Accompanied by her band, Gloria took center stage in her gorgeous gown, confidently opening the performance with a fantastic interpretation of Adele’s signature song, Hello. She and band delivered hits like Make You Feel My Love, All I Ask, Skyfall, Send My Love, Chasing Pavements, Rumour Has It, Turning Tables, One and Only, Love in the Dark, Easy on Me, When We Were Young, Rolling in the Deep, Set Fire to the Rain and more! Each song was followed by enthusiastic applause. A short intermission included a beautifully choreographed dance to the song, Creep. During her performance of Skyfall, Gloria soared above the stage to the thrill of her audience.
Gloria was joined on stage by Broadway veteran and popular Vallarta entertainer, Kevin Anthony for a breathtaking duet of the Adele favorite, Someone Like You. We all shared a special moment celebrating Gloria and Irene’s love. And after a fabulous evening of extraordinary music, everyone leaped to their feet, cheering and applauding and were gifted a beautiful encore!
The whole performance was delivered with love for the music and for the audience. It was a dream come true, not only for Gloria, but for all of us who love the heartfelt music of Adele performed to perfection.
Gloria reflected on the messages of the songs and spoke to us about miracles of the heart. She expressed gratitude to the many people who helped make the show a reality. The Vallarta School for Girls, where Gloria volunteers her time teaching music, received a portion of every ticket sale and the girls were all present for the show!
When Gloria Fiona arrived in Mexico a few years ago from Italy, she didn’t know anyone, she didn’t speak English or Spanish and had no contacts in the entertainment community. She then joined the popular all-girl band, Las Mambas, before moving on to perform her own schedule of shows in various venues around Vallarta. Last season her dream of performing an Adele Tribute came true and her notoriety as an entertainer soared.
You’ve come a long way, Gloria! Vallarta has a new star in its music scene and the Teatro Vallarta Show is another step in your journey to share the music, message and persona of Adele. Stay tuned for more announcements of upcoming shows by Gloria Fiona Productions.
