Austin, Texas – This December, legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli will return to the U.S. for eight special concert dates in select cities, including a performance at the Frank Erwin Center on Dec. 8.
Starting at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday Dec. 3, tour dates include Anaheim, Dallas, Houston, New York City, New Jersey and Bocelli’s first appearance in Boston in more than six years. The unique performances will feature a new popular repertoire from Bocelli’s latest album, “Cinema” along with Bocelli’s beloved repertoire of Arias, love songs and crossover hits.

Describing a recent performance, The Morning Call raved, “The purity and precision of Bocelli’s tenor was, indeed, otherworldly,” while The Columbus Dispatch calls the tenor “absolutely amazing.”
Bocelli’s latest album, “Cinema,” was released this fall, and highlights a collection of movie songs etched in the culture and hearts of several generations, including epic theme songs featured in films such as “Doctor Zhivago,” “Love Story,” “The Godfather,” “Life is Beautiful,” “Gladiator” and many more. The album includes duets with international superstars Ariana Grande and Nicole Scherzinger. PBS affiliates in Austin and San Antonio will air the television performance of “Cinema” throughout the summer in continued support of Bocelli’s performance in Austin, giving fans the opportunity to pledge for great seats.
Thrilling audiences for over 20 years, Andrea Bocelli exploded onto the world’s stage with his hit, “Con te Partiro” (and later it’s arrangement as a duet with Sarah Brightman with the title “Time To Say Goodbye”), and has since sold 80 million records and performed countless worldwide tours. Today, Bocelli is known for being one of the greatest singing talents in the world.
