The three concerts were recorded for an upcoming documentary film on the Italian tenor, directed by Grammy nominee and Emmy Award winner Sam Wrench.
ADVERTISEMENTAndrea Bocelli has celebrated the 30-year anniversary of his rise to fame with three special concerts at the Teatro del Silenzio in Tuscany.
The events boasted a star-studded line-up, from actors to singers to classical music stars.
Musical greats such as Lang Lang, Ed Sheeran, Brian May, Laura Pausini and Tiziano Ferro were in attendance. They were joined by big Hollywood names such as Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe and Will Smith.
Two-time Olivier Award nominee Francisco Negrin was the creative director for the event.
"Actually, this idea came from everyone who works with me, for me. I kind of, I would say, I had to put up with it. Let's say, though, that I embraced it. With pleasure," Bocelli said.
"Then I think we have also gone a little too far, and it has become a thing, actually maybe too big for a small town and for a provincial artist such as me. But we hope it will go well, though."
When asked about significant moments in his career, Bocelli said: "I'm spoiled for choice because there were situations, episodes and especially circumstances that I experienced with great emotion because they were objectively important. From Central Park in 2011 to Hyde Park a few days ago, through concerts under the pyramids in Egypt or in front of the Holy Father."
"So many powerful people of the Earth, presidents of great nations. So hard to pick one particular moment. They were really many, many extremely significant moments for me for my career."
The three evenings were also filmed and will appear in a new documentary concert film, Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration, which will be released in cinemas next autumn.
Sam Wrench will direct the film, which will be produced by Mercury Studios, Maverick, Almud, Impact Productions, and CitySound & Events.
The documentary will tell the story of Bocelli from his beginnings to his rise to fame.
Bocelli also announced the release of a new album, Duets, which will be released at the end of October.
