literally ΓÇ£againΓÇ¥. In a concert or opera performance, a repeat of a successful aria , song or other piece, demanded by the audience by tumultuous applause and cries of ΓÇ£Encore!!ΓÇ¥. In Italy they shout ΓÇ£Bis!!ΓÇ¥ ( ΓÇ£Twice!!ΓÇ¥). The successful singer prepares special lollipops to surprise the audience with unexpected encore pieces at the end of his or her concert or recital.
