Andrea Bocelli Celebrates 30 Years in Music With Ed Sheeran, Will Smith & More at Italy’s Teatro del Silenzio

The three evenings of “Andrea Bocelli 30 – The Celebration” will become a film with the same title, directed by Emmy Award winner Sam Wrench.

In the Teatro del Silenzio (“Theater of Science”), a fairytale place among the Tuscan hills that only opens once a year and is in its 19th edition, there were big names as guests, an amazing stage, and the most loved Italian songs in the world, including “O Sole Mio” and “Funiculì Funiculà.” Also worth mentioning are the baritone Franco Vassallo and the soprano Nadine Sierra, who gave a very touching moment with “Vicino a Te S’acqueta,” from the opera Andrea Chenier. Kicking things off was none other than Will Smith, who performed the lyrics to “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” written by Oscar Greeley Clendenning Hammerstein at the end of World War II with music by Richard Rodgers.
