The Teatro del Silenzio (Theater of Silence) is a natural amphitheater in Andrea’s hometown with an unparalleled beauty landscape. It comes alive only once each summer. The scenography is like a sundial that stands at the epicenter of the lake, protected by the stone wall. It embraces and structures the surrounding land under the night sky, guiding the audience and performers.
Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration, the concert film, will be produced by Mercury Studios, Maverick, Impact Productions, and CITYSOUND & Events. It will be directed by Grammy-nominee and Emmy Award-winner Sam Wrench, who recently directed Taylor Swift—The Eras Tour, the highest-grossing concert film of all time. He has also created live performance films with Billie Eilish, Lizzo, BTS, The Weeknd, and more.
The event’s Creative Director will be two-time Olivier Award nominee Francisco Negrin, who will bring his unique vision to the heart of Tuscany. He has directed over 70 critically acclaimed productions in the leading opera houses around the globe, including The Royal Opera House in London, Sydney Opera House, New York City Opera, and Théâtre des Champs Elysées in Paris.
As one of the most recognizable voices in the entertainment industry and revered by fans internationally, Andrea Bocelli has entertained audiences for 30 years, with nearly 90 million records sold worldwide. In addition to his sold-out arena-sized concert events and record-breaking live streams, Bocelli has shared his talents at many major events, including the Olympic Games, the World Cup, and Global Citizen.
