Bocelli is known for having one of the most beautiful voices in the world and has sold over 90 million records globally. He played a big part in bringing classical music into the present and his songs have topped pop charts all over the world. Celine Dion has said, “If God would have a singing voice, He would sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli.”
Kórinn in Kópavogur will be transformed into a seated venue, only numbered seats will be available. Bocelli will perform with SonfinaNord a 70 person orchestra, a choir from Fílharmónía and special guests. This will be the largest seated concert in Icelandic history, but still more intimate than many of his concerts abroad.
The concert will have two parts; the first halve will focus on classical songs where he’ll perform all the most known operatic arias and the second part will feature all of his most popular hits.
