Andrea Bocelli

The multi-Platinum selling artist will perform his much-loved classical repertoire which recently saw him play to a capacity audience at New York’s Madison Square Gardens.

Conductor Maestro Marcello Rota will accompany him, along with the esteemed Czech National Symphony Orchestra, soprano Ms Paola Sanguinetti, baritone Gianfranco Montresor.

And fans of his massive pop hits will not be disappointed, with NZ Soprano Anna Leese, and Australian chart-topping songstress Tina Arena joining the renowned tenor on stage in Auckland.

Hailed as one of the world’s most gifted vocalists, Andrea Bocelli has sold over 60 million CDs worldwide. “Vivere” The Best of Bocelli, released November 2007 and peaked at No. 4 on the NZ Album charts and sold platinum in NZ.

Andrea Bocelli in Concert will mark the tenor’s first time touring to New Zealand, and his third visit to Australia.

Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster. A portion of each ticket sold will be donated to Asia Pacific Business Coalition on AIDS.

APBCA Chairperson, Margaret Jackson said “The Asia Pacific Business Coalition on AIDS is pleased to be involved with an exceptional artist such as Andrea Bocelli and grateful to the new entertainment company organising the event for its support. This is a good example of how the private sector can assist in the important fight to reverse the HIV and AIDS epidemic in the region.

“Ticket buyers will not only be investing their money into an extraordinary concert experience, but will be helping APBCA’s work in the fight against HIV/AIDS.”
