Mini bio
From Tuscany to the stage.
Bocelli grew up on his family’s farm in Lajatico and began piano lessons at six. He studied law at the University of Pisa and played piano in local bars to pay for singing lessons. His voice teachers included Luciano Bettarini and Franco Corelli.
The breakthrough.
He won Sanremo’s newcomers category in 1994 with “Il mare calmo della sera.” That year he also made his operatic debut as Macduff in Verdi’s Macbeth. His duet with Sarah Brightman, “Time to Say Goodbye,” and the album Romanza brought his voice to an international audience.
A life across musical worlds.
His recordings move between complete operas, sacred repertoire and pop collaborations. Sì reached number one on both the U.K. and U.S. album charts in 2018. In 2022, A Family Christmas brought him together on record with his children Matteo and Virginia.
Music and giving back.
He founded the Andrea Bocelli Foundation in 2011. During the pandemic, his Easter 2020 Music for Hope performance from an empty Milan Cathedral gave fans a way to listen together from home.
