The announcement of Andrea Bocelli Concert - July 15th 2005 - Collins Barracks, Cork.
Lord Mayor's Press Release announcing the Andrea Bocelli Concert
Andrea Bocelli is a true phenomenon. The manner in which the voice of one man captured the hearts of music lovers across five continents, is truly unprecedented
1996 was probably when most of the English speaking world came to hear the voice of Andrea Bocelli . The melody of "Con te partirò" (written by Francesco Sartori and Lucio Quarantotto) and its duet arrangement "Time To Say Goodbye", with Sarah Brightman, captured the imagination of the European public. Following the success of his first three albums in Italy, the contemporary album "Romanza" became Andrea Bocelli's international debut release. In just twelve months, "Romanza" transformed Bocelli into one of the globe's most popular recording artists. Conquering Europe, "Romanza" was released throughout 1997 in North and South America, Asia, Africa and Australia & New Zealand. "Romanza" has sold over 15 million copies to date, introducing millions of the world's music lovers to the passionate voice of Andrea Bocelli. Andrea Bocelli has since acquainted them with his passion for opera.
In just five years since the Italian public were introduced to the voice of Andrea Bocelli, through his remarkable triumph at the Sanremo Festival, this amazing talent has become the biggest selling classical performer to emerge in several decades. His two classical discs, "Viaggio Italiano" and "Aria", have achieved international success. Just one illustration of the huge scale of Bocelli's international popularity occurred in the US in 1999, when four of his albums featured simultaneously on the official Billboard album chart. Such a feat had been achieved only twice in recent memory, in the early 1990s by Garth Brooks and before this in the mid 1980s by U2. Not the type of company you usually expect a classical tenor to keep.
We are delighted to be associated with bringing Andrea Bocelli to Cork in this special year of our designation a European Capital of Culture and feel it will be a showcase event that will highlight Cork as a venue for such events long into the future.
In welcoming Andrea to Cork we will be sorry when it is“Time to Say Goodbye” but in Italian style we will not say goodbye but ARRIVIDERCI... until we see you again
Cllr. Sean Martin, Lord Mayor of Cork.
