One of the world’s great voices, Andrea Bocelli returns to the UK and Ireland with his new album celebrating the greatest movie songs of all time.
Showcasing his latest album Cinema, the tour will feature stunning pieces from the classic cinema soundtracks along with arias and duets from the most legendary operas and other classic pieces from the artist’s repertoire.
‘Cinema’ made history in the UK by reaching Number 3 in the Official Charts, crowning Bocelli as the only classical artist to achieve ten Top 10 albums.
The album includes songs featured in films such as Doctor Zhivago, Love Story, The Godfather, Life is Beautiful, Gladiator, The Postman, Breakfast at Tiffany’s and many more, as well as popular songs from stage musicals, immortalised by their film versions, such as West Side Story and Evita. Bocelli even performed a duet with pop superstar Ariana Grande on ‘E Piu Ti Penso’ from Once Upon A Time In America.
From Ennio Morricone to Leonard Bernstein, these songs represent modern classics and over four nights on his UK and Ireland tour, Bocelli will transport audiences to these epic film sets, as well as performing some of his best-loved songs.
