Italian opera star hits the high notes in world-first AlUla concert | Arab News

ALULA: Italian opera tenor Andrea Bocelli enchanted an audience in AlUla on Thursday in what is believed to be the first-ever performance within the walls of the ancient desert city.

In his third performance in the Kingdom, Bocelli serenaded a limited number of concert-goers at the heritage site due to social distancing measures, but the concert was no less mesmerising than his previous shows at Maraya Concert Hall as part of the Winter at Tantora Festival.

The biggest surprise of the evening was the tenor's 9-year-old daughter Virginia Bocelli, making a Middle East debut with her father on the stage playing the guitar and singing the lyrics the iconic Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah".



The master tenor delivered a stripped- back set with musicians from the Arabian Philharmonic, and special guests Loren Allred, Matteo Bocelli, soprano Francesca Maionchi and Eugene Kohn at the piano.

The spectacular backdrop to the concert and the response of the audience left him eager to perform in other Saudi cities.

"It is rare to perceive such a strong empathy such as that experienced in your land," Bocelli told Arab News.

Bocelli's performance to fewer than 300 people is believed to be the first within the walls of the ancient desert city of Hegra.

Recalling his previous concerts in the Kingdom, the master tenor said that is happy to see how popular his music is among Saudis. "It is a nice surprise that keeps on increasing every time I return."

"To be able to sing well, in a convincing way, you need to have a passion. If you want to excite those who listen to you, you need to have something to tell, values to communicate and share.

Andrea Bocelli wife: Who is Andrea Bocelli's wife? How did they meet?

For Andrea, their meeting was incredibly important and took place the same year he and Enrica split: 2002.

He said of their meeting: “Veronica and I met at a party 12 years ago, and I was struck by her voice and how her skin felt.

“I sang my first aria for her that night. It was a piece called Occhi Di Fata (Fairy’s Eyes).

“It was the quickest, speediest start because we moved in with each other that same night. Effectively the marriage began when we met.”

At the time of their meeting, she was just 18-years-old and had to leave the party due to an exam coming up.

Veronica said of the meeting in an interview: “We were there for a birthday party of common friends. It was destiny.

They began a relationship, and soon Veronica began taking over Andrea’s management, though she has downplayed her role in his career.

"We only have to submit the important things that come to the office, the requests and the proposals, and Andrea decides for himself…

For Andrea, her work with him is incredibly important, and he added: "I know that I have many things to do but I don’t want to know what I have to do. Otherwise, I become nervous."

WATCH: Andrea Bocelli's Latest Music Video Features Stunning Shots Of Malta's

World-famous tenor Andrea Bocelli has released a new cover of Gerry & The Pacemakers classic You'll Never Walk Alone with a music video shot entirely in Malta.

The dimly lit halls of the historic MCC set the ambiance for an emotional performance by Bocelli before the environment shifts to the iconic Upper Barrakka Gardens with a breathtaking backdrop of the Grand Harbour.

You'll Never Walk Alone features on Bocelli's latest album Believe and was shot when the tenor visited Malta towards the end of last year.

The 50-minute set included eight songs across two iconic locations across the island – Fort St Elmo and St John's Co-Cathedral. The decision to perform eight songs was in tribute to the eight-point cross of the Knights of St John.
