One of the world’s biggest classical stars Andrea Bocelli has confirmed two South African tour dates in 2019… and that his son Matteo will join him on stage so South Africans can witness that beautiful duet between father and son that went viral last year – Fall On Me. (Watch video below.)
Bocelli says he is “proud” to return to South Africa where he will be performing with a full 140-piece symphony orchestra and choir, according to Big Concerts.
In Johannesburg, he will perform with the Johannesburg Festival Orchestra and the Symphony Choir of Johannesburg and in Cape Town with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir.
The concert will be split into 2 parts:
For the first part, fans will get to experience Andrea Bocelli perform some of the most famous opera arias.
The second part will be dedicated to his most popular hit and crossover songs for a once in a lifetime evening. His son Matteo Bocelli will be joining his father to perform the duet ‘Fall On Me’, a beautifully poignant song which reflects the bond between parent and child.
The Fall On Me video went viral in September 2018, clocking up over 35 million views on YouTube and millions more on Facebook.
Bocelli has recorded 15 solo studio albums of both pop and classical music, three greatest hits albums and nine complete opera. For his latest release ‘Si’, Bocelli has teamed up with some of the hottest musical stars on the planet including Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipaon, Josh Groban and Aida Garifullina.
Bocelli has sung for Popes, Presidents, royalty; and at events like the Olympic Games and the World Cup in South Africa in 2010. He has sold over 85 million records. He has numerous awards and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
As part of his world tour, his visit to South Africa is certain to be incredibly special for him and the audience. Bocelli will be performing on the polo field of luxury Val de Vie Estate, surrounded by three magnificent mountain ranges which will act as the natural open-air amphitheatre for the first-ever concert of Andrea Bocelli in the Western Cape.
