In September 2022, they delivered a captivating version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" on stage, with Virginia's voice resonating like a celestial sound.
The celebrated tenor performed at the Hollywood Bowl in California on October 24, 2021. Fans were thrilled when his young daughter Virginia joined him onstage. Together, they presented a version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," highlighting the young performer's exceptional vocal abilities. You can view their live act in the video and continue reading for their complete studio recording of this cover – which is equally impressive!
Opera stands as perhaps the most polarizing music genre, with listeners typically either adoring or disliking it. In recent years, several artists have created songs that bring opera closer to mainstream appeal. These performers include the group Il Divo and solo artists Russell Watson, Katharine Jenkins, and notably, Andrea Bocelli.
Andrea Bocelli has established himself across both pop and classical music scenes. He has also frequently created duets with his family members and other famous musicians. The video shown may be his most endearing creation, performing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" with his then 8-year-old daughter, Virginia.
Andrea met his second spouse Veronica Berti in 2002, shortly after separating from his first wife Enrica, with whom he has two sons. Veronica became CEO of Andrea's money management office years later and assisted him in creating the Andrea Bocelli Foundation in 2011. The organization aims to "help people and communities facing poverty, illiteracy, sickness, and social exclusion by supporting projects that overcome these challenges and allow full potential expression."
Andrea Bocelli represents remarkable talent and stands as an Italian cultural icon. His collaborative performances always provide listening pleasure, and he has raised a family of gifted future musicians. We hope to experience more from this extraordinary talent.
