“I’ve eagerly waited for many long months to be able to say to you: where did we leave off?” said Bocelli. “Today I am pleased to give each of you, my dear friends from my second beloved homeland, a date to put in your diaries. Returning to the stage means much more than just a concert. For me, it means meeting the people and things I love again and to share a common drive that aims to celebrate love and life and the One who gave it to us. In my heart, I am already in the United States, to embrace the many people in the many cities of my fall tour. And to those who will choose to celebrate Valentine’s Day with me, I say: ‘have a little patience, and while you wait to experience it together, please allow me to give you a piece of advice – make every day Valentine’s Day for you!’”
In Concert For Valentine’s will showcase some of Bocelli’s most romantic music including songs from his inspiring new album Believe as well as a selection of arias, his beloved cross-over hits and famed love songs.
