The legendary tenor will be streaming a free concert live on YouTube
Here’s something that’ll lift your spirits this Easter: Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli will perform a solo concert – titled Andrea Bocelli: Music For Hope – at Milan’s historic cathedral, Duomo di Milano, on Easter Sunday.
Although the public won’t be allowed to attend – due to coronavirus restrictions enforced by the Italian government – the concert will be live-streamed across the world.
“On the day in which we celebrate the trust in a life that triumphs, I’m honoured and happy to answer ‘Sì’ to the invitation of the City and the Duomo of Milan,” Bocelli said ahead of his performance.
“I believe in the strength of praying together; I believe in the Christian Easter, a universal symbol of rebirth that everyone – whether they are believers or not – truly needs right now.”
