Bravo – when a performer is so extraordinary that mere applause does not seem adequate to express your enthusiasm, you can shout "Bravo" (if the performer is a man) or "Brava" (if the performer is a woman) or "Bravi" (if there are a group of performers taking a bow.) "Bravo" is Italian and means "bravely or skillfully done". In America, audiences frequently whistle loudly if they love a performer, but in Europe this means just the opposite — that the artist is being ridiculed. So shouting "Bravo" is probably a better way to express your feelings about a performer.
