The World\u2019s Most Popular Classical Singer \u2013 Live in Central Park for 60,000 fans\r
\r
FREE CONCERT WITH THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC \r
CENTRAL PARK\u2019S GREAT LAWN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 2011 \r
\r
First Tenor Since Luciano Pavarotti To Perform For Central Park\r
\r
\r
The biggest selling classical artist and best-loved tenor in the world, Andrea Bocelli continues his mission to bring the great classics to fans everywhere with a free concert on Central Park\u2019s Great Lawn.\r
\r
Fulfilling a lifetime dream on Thursday, September 15th in New York City, ANDREA BOCELLI LIVE IN CENTRAL PARK will also be released on CD and DVD by Sugar/Decca this November.\r
\r
\u201cI\u2019m lucky enough to reach millions of people and this is an opportunity to perform this music to the largest audience possible,\u201d says Bocelli, \u201cFollowing in the footsteps of the maestro Pavarotti, it is an honour to take the tradition of the Italian tenor to the world like never before.\u201d\r
\r
Bocelli is the most popular Italian tenor in the world with more than 70 million albums sold. He will be joined by the celebrated New York Philharmonic, conducted by its music director Alan Gilbert and will present a varied repertoire including his best known songs and classical greats. A host of star guest performers will be announced over the coming months.\r
\r
Bocelli is a unique phenomenon, the best selling classical performer in the world, as well as one of the biggest pop stars on the planet. \r
\r
The achievements to date are staggering. Between 1997 and 2004, Bocelli was the best selling classical artist in the world every single year. For 3 years straight, he held the Number 1 position in the US Classical Charts every week.\r
\r
His Sacred Arias is the biggest selling arias record of all time. He has won Classical BRIT Awards, Grammys and a Golden Globe and received Oscar nominations.\r
\r
Last year, his global sales reached the 70 million mark, performed with Mary J. Blige at the Grammys and received a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame. He was also the first artist to be granted a concert in the wondrous Duomo of Milan and recently made his recital debut at New York\u2019s Metropolitan Opera House.\r
\r
Occupying a position between the worlds of classical, pop and celebrity, Bocelli is conscious of the opportunity to make the music he loves as accessible to others as it was to him growing up in Tuscany.\r
\r
\u201cI cannot help but smile when thinking about a concert in Central Park,\u201d he says, \u201cIt was my father\u2019s dream, and my father was right, because my artistic path would have been entirely different without the strong and sincere embrace of this extraordinary city where everything is possible, even when it seems impossible.\r
\r
\u201cMy father will not be there, but I can count on his blessing and his kind and gentle smile to give me courage. My mother, sitting in the front row, will feel my father too, and they will be together again just like when I was a little boy performing on the fireplace steps. Perhaps they had secretly dreamed that I might have the opportunity to perform in New York City, and maybe right here in Central Park.\u201d \r
