The homecoming not only honors Bocelli’s illustrious career, but it holds profound significance for him - Teatro del Silenzio is the very place where his love of music first began and where he holds annual concerts paying homage to his Italian roots.
The once-in-a-lifetime concert showcases Bocelli’s beloved and genre-spanning repertoire, including a brand new rendition of Perfect Symphony, one of his most-watched duets with Ed Sheeran, which has garnered over half a billion views online.

Directed by Grammy-nominee and Emmy Award-winner Sam Wrench (Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Billie Eilish: Live at The O2), the film is a celebration of an international icon and revered classical voice, with a grandeur and scale that reaches new heights.
“Capturing Andrea and this enviable list of artists against such a stunning backdrop was a dream come true,” shared Sam Wrench. “I can’t wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen and lose themselves in the spectacle.”
