Andrea Bocelli is to perform a special concert at Italy’s historic Duomo di Milano on Easter Sunday. Bocelli will just be accompanied by cathedral organist Emanuele Vianelli for the occasion, which will take place without a live audience as Italy remains in lockdown due to the devastating coronavirus outbreak in the country.
The performance, titled Bocelli: Music for Hope, and featuring the classic religious piece Ave Maria, is set to take place at 6pm BST and will air live on Bocelli’s YouTube channel.
