(ANSA) – ROME, DECEMBER 13 – The stage effects, the fascinating scenography, a great orchestra and the magic of Christmas: Andrea Bocelli with “Believe in Christmas” brought to the Teatro Regio di Parma a spectacular concert followed by global streaming during more than 70,000 unique accesses, connected from more than 100 countries around the world, for some 200,000 people in front of their respective devices (incredible numbers for a concert with classical music ticket sales).
The artistic direction, signed by the visionary Franco Dragone, was able to create a great opera setting, immersing the viewer in a wonderful dream of colors and suggestions. The stage was the Teatro Regio, one of the most prestigious stages in Italy and the only one on the peninsula that hosted a world-famous festival dedicated to Giuseppe Verdi.
During the evening Bocelli alternated the interpretation of some songs contained in his latest album “Believe” with the most famous Christmas songs, also reached on stage by great guests such as Zucchero (“White Christmas”), Cecilia Bartoli (“I Believe” and “Piano Pianissimo”), the French soprano Clara Barbier Serrano (first fellow established at the Royal College of Music in London by Community Jameel and Andrea Bocelli Foundation) and the Ukrainian violinist Anastasia Petryshak.
The narrator of the whole show was little Virginia, daughter of the tenor, who also did a duet with him in “Halleluja”, in the version of his new album “Believe”. The finale gave all the magic of Christmas with Blanca Navidad, Cantique De Noel and Adeste Fideles and the arrival of the snowflakes on stage.
“Believe in Christmas” was produced by pioneering company Driift (which has followed the acclaimed events of Nick Cave, Niall Horan, Dermot Kennedy, Biffy Clyro), in association with Maverick Management and Almud. The choreographies were created by Tiziana Pagliarulo (who also co-directed with Dragone), while the stage sets were created in collaboration with Filippo Baracchi. The creation direction was in charge of Filippo Ferraresi. (HANDLE).
