As millions of people have contracted COVID-19 worldwide, many famous musicians are trying to use their platforms to spread hope and a message to stay inside.
One of those musicians includes famous Opera singer Andrea Bocelli, who did a touching performance live from Duomo di Milano to encourage people from all around the world.
The resulting performance is so inspiring!
Bocelli performed at a famous cathedral in Italy to give people encouragement during these hard times.
This unprecedented outbreak has taken the world by storm, leaving everyone hostages in their own homes. An invisible enemy has forced us to keep our distance for one another—and even though it will eventually pass, it still takes a lot to keep our heads in the meantime. Bocelli did his sensational performance to try to give us hope, bring us together, and encourage us to stay inside.
The video starts with beautiful drone footage of Italy, showing the breathtaking Duomo de Milano Cathedral from bird’s eye view before switching to the inside and his masterful singing begins.
From inside the empty cathedral, Bocelli sings with so much passion and grace.
The performance is from Easter Sunday, at a time where we were all forced to stay inside and avoid church because of COVID-19. His voice inspires us to have resilience and compassion for each other.
The cameraman gets spectacular angles from all over the ancient cathedral, switching from close-ups of Bocelli to the stunning decor and architecture that makes you wonder how it was even built so beautifully.
Bocelli’s voice soars through the holy place, hitting jaw-dropping notes the entire time.
You can see the vibrant colors of the stained glass directly behind Bocelli as he sings. It’s just him and a pianist going through the music together while millions stream the performance live. The tracklist includes various songs from many famous musicians.
First up is “Panis Angelicus” by César Franck, followed by “Ave Maria” by Charles-François Gounod.
After that, Bocelli does “Sancta Maria” by Pietro Mascagni. Next up is “Domine Deus” by Gioachino Antonio Rossini. The performance then switches to another incredible angle, with Bocelli outside of the cathedral.
The last song he does is “Amazing Grace” by English poet John Newton, arguably one of the famous songs of all time.
He performs each song with so much power, and the sincerity in his voice permeates into your heart and soul. Without skipping a beat, Bocelli goes through the entire tracklist, showcasing his impressive voice every step of the way. How he maintains the same level of vocals for so long is unbelievable, never letting up throughout the entire 20-minute performance.
Millions of people on YouTube were completely touched by Bocelli’s wonderful voice—not to mention the mesmerizing aura of the Duomo di Milano.
