Andrea Bocelli performs his hit 'Il Mare Calmo Della Sera' at an outdoor concert, surrounded by a full orchestra and thousands of spectators.
Have you ever wanted to hear the song that propelled Andrea Bocelli to stardom? This is your chance as Bocelli beautifully sings 'Il Mare Calmo Della Sera,' translated to 'The Calm Evening Sea.'
Andrea sits on the stage in front of a piano, wearing a white suit with tails. Behind him is a full orchestra covering the entire back of the stage, with Andrea playing the piano.
In the crowd, thousands of people look on as Andrea begins the song that led him to victory in the 1994 Sanremo Festival. The win launched the Italian tenor's career.
This outdoor performance features huge stones lit with L.E.D. blue lighting. The song's first half is simply piano and Andrea interweaving their resonant tones.
The orchestra enters, building the song's intensity, and an electric guitar riff soars above the group while Bocelli powerfully sings. The lights begin to shine brighter, illuminating the musicians.
There is an instrumental break for the violins, and they play a short riff while the crowd cheers. The rest of the musicians come back in, and the whole stage is booming with sound.
Bocelli hits the high notes with power and emotion. It ends with Andrea holding out the final note with the crowd roaring. Andrea says, "Grazie, grazie," thanking them in Italian.
