If you are somebody who enjoys good music, you have probably listened to your fair share of Andrea Bocelli. Not only does he have a versatile singing voice and style, but he is also known as being one of the greatest singers of our time. His vocals seem to just have a range that allows him to sing a song in tenor and give us chills, regardless of what he is singing. One of the Italian songs that he is known for singing is ‘Their to Live’ but he is also known for some English songs, such as ‘The Prayer’ that he performed with Celine Dion.
You may have heard him many times on the radio but if you have ever had the opportunity to see him in person, you realize he puts on quite a show. Once he starts singing, there is no noise in the background, almost as if you were listening to an orchestra. In the video below, you will be able to hear him giving tribute to a musical that is also considered one of the greatest of our time, The Phantom of the Opera.
Andrea had eyesight problems from the time he was born in Tuscany. At the age of 12, he had an accident at a soccer match and went completely blind. Even though he has had his share of troubles, he still continues to push forward. His passion and abilities with music helped him to forge the way ahead.
Luciano Pavarotti truly gave him his break when he provided vocals for ‘Miserere’. Once that song became popular, Andrea started touring the country and eventually, around the world. He now had a name of his own to the point where he has earned a Hollywood walk star of fame.
Andrea is still busy recording songs and performing to audiences around the world. The performance that you will see in the video below was recorded during a memorial concert for Lady Diana in Wembley Stadium. The song he is performing is ‘The Music of the Night’ from Phantom of the Opera.
From the moment he begins singing, you can tell that the audience is truly in love with what they are hearing. When the orchestra was playing along with him, it takes things to the next level.
It would be fantastic if we all had the opportunity to see him in concert. Until that time comes, however, we can enjoy his singing online through these videos:
