This event takes place on Saturday July 28th 2018, and starts at 20.15. Full details are yet to be released but we already know that this year's event is inspired by Bocelli's first operatic passion, the work 'Andrea Chénier' by Umberto Giordano.
This is the first work he heard, the first he learned, the first aria he recorded at the tender age of eight years old.
The Teatro del Silenzio (Theatre of Silence) is an open air amphitheatre located in a stunning position near tenor Andrea Bocelli's home town of Lajatico in Tuscany. The venue was created at Bocelli's suggestion and in July of every year typically hosts this performance, while for the rest of the year it lives up to its name and the stage area is transformed into a lake with a central platform where a series of sculptures have been exhibited. Year after year sees demand outstrip supply for this legendary event, so early booking is always recommended.
