Every July, Andrea Bocelli performs at the iconic Teatro del Silenzio (Theatre of Silence).
The open-air amphitheatre is only used once a year for the tenor’s annual concert and for the rest of the time remains true to its name.
The special venus is located in Lajatico, the 64-year-old’s hometown in Tuscany, Italy.
Back in 2006, he convinced the local municipality to build it, to which he contributed greatly.
Highlights from the 2023 performance have been posted on his official Instagram page, including a duet with Emma Marrone of Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love.
Another favourite cover of Bocelli’s is Nessun Dorma, which was his grand finale at Teatro del Silenzio 2023.
Fans can view the goosebump-inducing footage of the tenor belting out the last verses so magnificently below.
Nessun dorma!, which means “Let no one sleep” is an aria from the final act of Giacomo Puccini’s opera Turandot.
The song is performed by the unknown prince character Calaf who falls in love at first sight with the Princess Turandot.
To marry Turandot, Calaf must answer her three riddles correctly, but if he fails he will be beheaded.
Nessun dorma! is the prince’s assertion that he will indeed triumph and wed the princess.
