Italian star singer Andrea Bocelli reacts to the cultural stagnation in his homeland and plans a Christmas concert on December 12 entitled “Believe in Christmas”, in which he will sing various songs from his album “Believe” (Decca), which was released in November. The concert at the Teatro Regio in Parma will be broadcast around the world. However, Bocelli can already be seen on Wednesday night as part of the “Licht ins Dunkel” gala at ORF.
The tenor appears in favor of the fundraising campaign for the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic on television. Andreas Gabalier, DJ Ötzi, Ina Regen, Pizzera & Jaus and Aleksey Igudesman also serve the good cause with live performances at ORF Studio 1 (8:15 PM, ORF 2).
The Parma concert will continue in December. The event is led by Italian-Belgian Franco Dragone, who has hosted many performances for the Canadian live entertainment company Cirque du Soleil. Above all, he wanted to give people hope and optimism with his concert. “They are the best drugs for difficult situations,” said the artist in an interview with the Italian radio station RTL.
The concept behind “Believe” is based on the three words faith, hope and charity. These are the three theological virtues of Christianity that, regardless of any religious beliefs, also form the key to giving life a sense of meaning and fullness, Bocelli said.
The 62-year-old Bocelli, who fell ill with the corona virus in the spring and has since recovered, sings on his new album as a duet with mezzo-soprano Cecilia Bartoli and singer Allison Krauss. The disc also pays tribute to the master of late July Italian film music, Ennio Morricone, with whom Bocelli had often worked.
