At last, a legend
At last, a legend for the new millennium. A legend in the Homeric sense of a myth, the word that speaks which has flowered here through song: like Caruso, Gigli, Del Monaco, Corelli A legend (of Andrea Bocelli's stature) is not created by design: the most astute marketing would never be able to produce such a result. It is simply that people recognized him and voted for him. And so it happened, in an apparently equal context (a singing competition, the Sanremo festival in 1994) and yet a most perfect one, because the infancy of a legend follows a course which breaks with tradition.
From then on the tone of his voice has brought tenderness to the world and his fame has increased exponentially. Because if God would have a singing voice, He would sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli even Celine Dion's famous comment is a clear, unadorned testament to the artist's legendary status as well as the perception of a gift That voice, that simultaneously melancholic and radiant colour, an unrivalled vocal interpretation of the emotions of a lover or a father, a matchless expression of earthly desire or heavenly love, with 70 million record sales to testify to it.

"I don't think one decides to become a singer, It is decided for you by the reactions of the people around you". Andrea Bocelli had to reckon with a double gift, both elements of which are completely absorbing. The first aspect is a timbre which is as recognizable as a signature, full and powerful, with a versatility ranging from the belcanto to the furore of Verismo, from the sacred repertoire to the popular ballads. The second gift is a more delicate one: life's journey led Andrea Bocelli in adolescence to a different ability which deprived him of sight. This was truly a privation which increased the flow of an extraordinary and unique sensibility which transforms and transcends boundaries, causing him to excel in his interpretation of lyrics, in his perception of the subtleties of musical expression.
An old fashioned training of a modern tenor
Tuscan, like Puccini and Mascagni, Andrea Bocelli was born on 22nd September 1958 and grew up on the family farm in Lajatico. He started studying the piano from the age of six years old. Later his musical passion would extend to the flute and the saxophone but it was in his voice that Andrea discovered the ideal instrument, and this was the beginning of the formative process which would produce Bocelli, the star, "a modern but old fashioned tenor" (as he likes to describe himself). In 1970 he enjoyed his first success in a singing competition, performing 'O sole mio'. After studying singing with Luciano Bettarini, Bocelli approached Franco Corelli. In order to pay for singing lessons, Andrea would play the piano in the local bars and, in the meantime, he continued to develop his interest in the humanities and graduated in Law. In the same period that saw him take off in the world of pop, Andrea was presented with an opportunity to make his debut on the operatic stage in 1994 in Verdi's Macbeth. That Christmas he was invited to sing the Adeste Fideles in St Peters before the Pope. This was the start of a meteoric rise.

Con te partiro...
There is something miraculous about the parallel track along which the tenor Andrea Bocelli's career developed. In 1996 the melody of the song "Con te Partiro" (and later its arrangement as a duet with Sarah Brightman with the title "Time to say Goodbye") was heard in every corner of the world. The Bocelli phenomenon was being talked about everywhere: an artist whose explosion into the recording world - with an album entitled Romanza - was breaking all records. At the same time Andrea embarked on his operatic adventure, with a careful management of his voice. In 1998 he met Zubin Mehta and this led to the beginning of a successful collaboration between them. In 1999 Andrea performed at the Arena in Verona for the first time; in October he made his debut in the United States in Massenet's Werther. At the same time his album Sogno was released, which included Andrea's duet with Celine Dion of "The Prayer". From this point on the Bocelli legend, supported by huge record sales, was unstoppable. His concerts would find the most celebrated directors on the podium such as Lorin Maazel, Seiji Ozawa, Valery Gergev, Zubin Mehta and Myun Whun Chung.

A voice for the new millennium
His first "classical" recording dates back to 1997 and was entitled Viaggio Italiano. 1998 saw the release of Aria - The Opera Album. The dawn of the new millennium, was marked by the release of a cd dedicated to Sacred Arias conducted by M' Chung: with this homage to Christianity Bocelli earned a place in the Guinness Book of World Records by occupying the first, second and third place in the American classical music charts. The year 2000 marked a new milestone in Andrea Bocelli's recording career: Puccini's La Boheme, with Zubin Mehta conducting. Still under Mehta's baton, the start of the millennium also celebrated the release of the Verdi album. In 2001 it was the turn of Verdi's Requiem, a recording with a formidable cast conducted by Valery Gergiev. In the autumn of 2002 Andrea Bocelli combined his energies with those of Lorin Maazel, with whom he undertook a very special recording project: Sentimento, an enormous success. In May 2003 Andrea sang the role of Mario in his album of Puccini's Tosca under the direction of Zubin Mehta. In spring 2004 Bocelli released Il Trovatore which had been recorded in 2001. Bocelli sang Werther which was released onto the market in spring 2005. The following year his repertoire of operatic recordings was enriched by Leoncavallo's Pagliacci and Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana. His more recent projects include Andrea Chenier by Giordano and finally Bizet's Carmen, directed by Myung Whun Chung. For his concerts Bocelli conquered the most lauded strongholds of the classical music world such as the Wiener Staatsoper.

New Challenges
In 2008, while his new album Incanto was a sell-out success, Andrea performed in Carmen in Rome and then La Petite Messe Solennelle in the United States, directed by Placido Domingo. He appeared as Turiddu in the Cavalleria Rusticana on the prestigious stage of the Deutsche Opera in Berlin and then flew to South America where he performed to an audience of more than 110,000 in San Paolo, Brazil. In 2009 Bocelli made his triumphant debut at Carnegie Hall in New York in a triple concert where he performed sacred arias and lieder. As many of the legendary voices of the past such as Caruso and Sinatra have done before him, Andrea Bocelli too celebrates the Christmas tradition. His new album My Christmas shot to success in no time. Released on 3rd November 2009 in the USA, it went straight into the charts at number three and reached second place where it remained for six consecutive weeks. Achieving sales of more than 4 million, it became the 5th top selling album in the world in 2009. From March 2010 another star shines on Hollywood's Walk of Fame dedicated to our Tuscan tenor, one of a very few Italians to figure in this prestigious firmament.
