On April 12, 2020, during the Easter season amidst the pandemic emergency, Andrea Bocelli performed at the deserted Milan Cathedral. Conceived as a moment of prayer and hope, it became the most-viewed live classical event in YouTube history, with 2.8 million spectators. Within the first twenty-four hours, the “Music for Hope” video garnered over 28 million views.
Andrea Bocelli’s seventeenth studio album, “Believe,” was released. Described as a “spiritual autobiography,” the album brings together sacred music and soul-stirring songs. It includes original compositions by Bocelli and others, like Ennio Morricone. Guest artists on the album are Cecilia Bartoli and Alison Krauss.
In a global livestream exclusive from the Teatro Regio di Parma, Andrea Bocelli staged a grand and spectacular Christmas concert/event, creatively directed by Franco Dragone. The event featured the debut of Virginia Bocelli, eight years old, duetting with her father on Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” Special guests included Cecilia Bartoli and Zucchero.
