Celebrating 30 years of Bocelli’s music with new collaborations and classic tracks

Andrea Bocelli is marking three decades since his debut album with a special release titled Duets, featuring new collaborations with stars like Shania Twain and Gwen Stefani. This 32-track compilation blends fresh recordings and past duets, with notable appearances by US country star Chris Stapleton, his son Matteo Bocelli, and Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer. The project also revisits Bocelli’s notable partnerships with artists such as Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, and Celine Dion.

Bocelli, reflecting on the significance of duets, described them as “an intimate and deep connection” that mixes “sensual and spiritual” experiences. The album’s first single is Da Stanotte In Poi (From This Moment On), a reimagining of Twain’s 1997 hit, recorded alongside the five-time Grammy-winning singer.

The Italian tenor, whose career took off in 1994 with Il Mare Calmo Della Sera, has sold nearly 90 million records and graced global stages, including the Olympic Games and World Cup. Ahead of the album release, Bocelli will host a three-day event in Lajatico, his hometown, at the Teatro del Silenzio. Performances on July 15, 17, and 19 will feature stars like Ed Sheeran, Sir Brian May, and Johnny Depp. These concerts will be filmed for a cinematic release titled Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration, directed by Sam Wrench, known for his work with Taylor Swift.

Additionally, a new documentary about Bocelli’s life, Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe, will be released in cinemas. Duets will be available on October 25 through Decca Records, following Bocelli’s recent Hyde Park performance and ahead of his upcoming US tour in November.
