Opera superstar Andrea Bocelli wowed fans worldwide by performing a special solo concert at the empty Duomo cathedral in Milan, Italy on Easter Sunday.
The tenor staged the show, titled Andrea Bocelli: Music for Hope, with just organist Emanuele Vianelli, singing tracks including Ave Maria, Sancta Maria, Panis Angelicus, and Domine Deus.
Before the event, Bocelli expressed a wish for his music to bring people together to pray for Earth’s healing amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced his native Italy into a national lockdown.
And as he wrapped up the set outside the historic venue with a cover of John Newton’s Amazing Grace, viewers flocked to social media to share their joy at the 61-year-old’s flawless performance.
