Last night, iconic Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli kicked off his three-day concert event, Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration, commemorating his 30th anniversary in music. The Teatro del Silenzio (Theater of Silence) in Bocelli’s hometown of Lajatico in the Tuscany region was a visual and auditory feast, featuring a meticulously crafted setlist, traversing Bocelli’s musical career with performances by Jon Batiste, Sofia Carson, Matteo Bocelli, Virginia Bocelli, Christian Nodal, Elisa, Tiziano Ferro, Aida Garifullina, Mariam Battistelli, Amos Bocelli, Franco Vasallo, and conductor Steven Mercurio.

The evening featured a myriad of highlights, including Bocelli and Jon Batiste’s deeply moving and captivating performance of “Amazing Grace.” Bocelli also dedicated a moment of the night to his family, first singing a duet of “Hallelujah,” with his daughter Virginia Bocelli, and then a beautiful performance of “Fall on Me,” with his rising crossover star son, Matteo. Bocelli also invited Sofia Carson to the stage for a performance of “Can't Help Falling In Love,” followed by a trio performance of “If I Knew” with Matteo Bocelli. The night ended with a stirring solo performance of Pavarotti’s “Nessun Dorma.”

The evening also included a surprise appearance from longtime fans, Kim andamp; Khloé Kardashian. Bocelli descended into the audience to present flower bouquets to the stars. 

The Italian countryside will remain a celebration of music, memories, and milestones for two additional shows on Wednesday, July 17th, and Friday, July 19th. Still to come are performances by Ed Sheeran, Shania Twain, Russell Crowe, David Foster, Jose Carreras, Lang Lang, and many more.

Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration will be filmed and produced by Mercury Studios, Maverick, Almud, Impact Productions, and CitySound andamp; Events. The film will be directed by Grammy-nominee and Emmy Award-winner Sam Wrench, who recently directed Taylor Swift - The Eras Tour, the highest grossing concert film of all time, and will be released globally in theaters this fall by Fathom.

Bocelli’s 30th anniversary celebration is set to continue with the release of his new album, Duetsout October 25th via Decca Records / Sugar Music. The 32-track collection includes many of Bocelli’s most beloved collaborations with Ed Sheeran, Céline Dion, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, and Luciano Pavarotti, and more, as well as new superstar duets recorded especially for the album with Shania Twain, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony, Karol G, Matteo Bocelli, Hans Zimmer, and more.
