Quick question: What connects Ed Sheeran, Russell Crowe, the Kardashians, Sofia Vergara, Johnny Depp, and Will Smith?

These celebrities and numerous other familiar faces appear in a new concert film commemorating Andrea Bocelli’s 30 years in music. The concert spanned three days in July and drew over 30,000 attendees to an outdoor venue in Tuscany. Bocelli collaborated with director Sam Wrench, known for Taylor Swift’s “Eras Tour” film, to create this movie. “Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration” is set for theatrical release this weekend.

The renowned tenor has three children, all featured in the film. Thus, he is well aware of the global sensation that Swift’s “Eras Tour” has become.

“Virginia and Matteo attended Taylor Swift’s concert in Milan,” Bocelli, 66, shares with YSL News, chuckling as he adds, “They told me every single detail, of course.”

Bocelli’s children, Virginia, 12, and Matteo, 27, joined him at this year’s Academy Awards. He celebrated his music milestone with a performance of “Time to Say Goodbye,” accompanied by Matteo during the Oscars’ In Memoriam tribute. This arrangement was reimagined with contributions from two-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer.

In “Andrea Bocelli 30,” the artist shared the stage with Oscar winners Crowe and Smith. Crowe performed “Take This Waltz” alongside Bocelli, while Smith delivered a spoken-word version of “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” The two actors were meeting Bocelli for the first time during this event.

“It was beautiful,” Bocelli reflects on the performance with Crowe, saying, “He was really excited, and so was I.” He feels that the audience in Tuscany experienced that joy too.

The film also features Kim and Khloé Kardashian, who receive flowers from Bocelli on stage. In a separate scene filmed away from the amphitheater, the sisters share their thoughts on Bocelli’s achievements. A recurring theme throughout the film is the acknowledgment that his career is not just marked by the nearly 90 million albums he’s sold, but also by how he has represented Italy and classical music over his three decades in the spotlight.

“You shouldn’t take any of this for granted,” Bocelli reflects on the praises he receives, adding with the aid of a translator, “The reality of my life has exceeded all my expectations.”

Having gone completely blind at the age of 12, Bocelli was encouraged by his father to explore music in the United States. Now, in “Andrea Bocelli 30,” he shares this musical legacy with his three children. In one scene, his son Amos, 29, converses with Queen’s Brian May. Although Amos has pursued a career in spatial engineering, he initially studied piano. Notably, May, apart from his music career, is also an astrophysicist.

May also performed with Bocelli on stage, delivering Queen’s “Who Wants to Live Forever.” Bocelli remains focused on the present; he has recently released a “Duets” album that includes both new collaborations and previously recorded songs. Additionally, Bocelli is scheduled for 10 performances across the U.S. this December, with more shows planned for February and June next year.

When asked about the longevity of his music, he provides a simple insight.

“My aim is to inspire peace and serenity. That is my goal.”
