Pollstar raved about the concert event saying “Everything about Andrea Bocelli’s ticketed livestream ‘Believe In Christmas Concert’ at Italy’s majestic Teatro Regio di Parma Opera House was pitch perfect: gorgeous production led by Franco Dragone (Cirque Du Soleil), flawless stage direction by Giorgio Testi for Pulse Films; special guest appearances by Zucchero Fornaciari, Cecilia Bartoli and Clara Barbier Serrano; creative choreography and interplay between a full orchestra, chorus and dancers; successful promotion and livestreaming technology via UK-based platform Driift; a tie-in with Bocelli’s stunning new Decca/Universal album Believe; and, of course, the Italian tenor’s mellifluous voice, itself beyond compare; and, one more thing, an 8-year old girl who stole the show.” Click HERE to see Andrea and Virginia Bocelli performing their show-stopping rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.” 
 
The other unexpected star turn came from the venue itself, the stunning Teatro Regio di Parma built in 1829. The historic venue was used to full effect to create a gorgeous backdrop for the production.  In addition to Christmas favorites, the performance also includes songs from Andrea Bocelli's latest album, Believe, along with a full-orchestra accompaniment and features surprise guests alongside the sumptuous visuals. 
 
“It was a moment of pure enchantment, for me and my family: a Christmas wonderland blooming and enshrined within one of the most beautiful opera houses in the world,” shared Bocelli. “It was a tender debut for my daughter Virginia and a show in which we symbolically took the hand of the world to finally turn the page, bolstered by the magic of the spirit of Christmas, thanks to music that rose to prayer, dispensing smiles and positive energy. December and the loveliest time of the year are back, and I am particularly happy that ‘Believe In Christmas’ is being streamed again: it will be nice to hold hands again and – with music – exchange a wish that can go beyond words and reach the hearts of each of you, as is my hope.”
 
 
Believe In Christmas is promoted and produced by Driift, the pioneering livestream business behind ticketed online events for artists including Niall Horan, Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue, Laura Marling and Biffy Clyro.
 
Bocelli is currently back on the road for his largest tour to date, with two upcoming nights at the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 15th and 16th.

About the Andrea Bocelli Foundation
The Andrea Bocelli Foundation (ABF) was established in July 2011 by Bocelli family after being inspired by the affection and positivity received from fans and partners around the world. ABF has since grown into an independent non-profit led by world-class professionals that oversee the strategic development of key projects.
 
The Foundation’s core mission is to empower people and communities in situations of poverty, illiteracy, distress due to illness and social exclusion by promoting and supporting national and international projects that promote the overcoming of these barriers and the expression of their full potential.
 
Since 2011, ABF has raised over 36 million Euros in fundraising efforts resulting in the construction of 9 schools in Italy and Haiti that offer daily access to a world-class education to over 3,500 students. Additionally, ABF has created welfare projects that guarantee access to clean water and basic medical treatment to over 400,000 people living in the most remote and impoverished areas of Haiti. The Foundation also implements and promotes education projects that leverages music as an additional tool for social inclusion and talent development, all in line with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda Goal Number 4.7.
