A moment of pure emotion, transcending borders, languages, and cultures. This was experienced on the stage of "Bulgaria's Got Talent," where internationally renowned Neapolitan quick-change artist and performer Luca Lombardo captivated the audience and judges with a stunning performance, culminating in a gesture that went viral online.
During the performance, Lombardo sang the famous Napoli song, "Sarò con te," transforming the talent show stage into a mini Neapolitan stadium. Overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, one of the judges, Julian Vergov, joined in, singing along and sparking a standing ovation from the audience.
A spontaneous, genuine scene that moved even viewers at home and that in just a few hours went viral on social media, garnering thousands of shares even in Italy.
A symbolic moment that united two worlds—that of international television and that of Neapolitan passion—and once again established Lombardo as an ambassador of Naples' talent and energy to the world.
The artist is no stranger to performances that leave their mark.

Considered the inventor of a personal and refined stage language, Lombardo has created a unique balance between rhythm, wonder, and visual storytelling. His performances, as international broadcasters have also emphasized, are "a meeting of magic and theater, in which every transformation becomes a story."
In 2021, the performer had already hit the headlines for his appearance at the Sanremo Festival alongside Lo Stato Sociale: a number of illusions and rapid costume changes that marked the first appearance of a quick-change artist in the history of the event.
Author of the only Italian book dedicated to quick-change, also translated into English, Lombardo has helped spread knowledge of this art worldwide. In recent years, he has appeared several times on Rai 1, in the program "La Volta Buona," hosted by Caterina Balivo, where one of his videos has surpassed four million views. His show "Poubelle," also broadcast on the flagship network, has surpassed one and a half million views on TikTok, confirming a rare ability: to enchant television and digital audiences with equal intensity.
Already the star of the show “LOL Talent,” watched by over 2.7 million viewers, Luca Lombardo continues to build an artistic journey that combines experimentation, lightheartedness, and wonder.
With his triumph at "Bulgaria's Got Talent," the Neapolitan quick-change artist reaffirms the universal power of the language of art: a theater that needs no words to thrill, and that brings the accent, heart, and imagination of Naples to the world.

I found the article very interesting, but there are some things that don't add up. Why did the judge start singing? I don't understand why people are so enthusiastic about a song. Maybe I would have preferred a different kind of performance.
