As we start winding down after a busy year, Ster-Kinekor is bringing all the feels of the holiday season with the screening of two magical concerts, one in November and the other in December.
In celebration of world-renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli’s 30th anniversary, a breath-taking natural amphitheatre in his hometown – Tuscany in Italy – bursts to life with enchanting melodies and special guests during a three-day concert event, which was filmed for the big screen and will be shown on 16 and 17 November.
The second concert will certainly bring on the festive spirit, as André Rieu puts on a Christmas concert special as only the King of Waltz can, with sparkles and dazzles, exquisite costumes, beautiful music and enchanting performers. The two screenings will take place on 07 and 08 December.
Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration
Ster-Kinekor screening dates: Saturday, 16 November at 19:00 and Sunday, 17 November at 15:00
Running time: 150 minutes
“Andrea Bocelli is a much-admired and loved performer across the world, and his fanbase in South Africa is passionate about his music. With this in mind, Ster-Kinekor is excited to be bringing this concert film to our big screens, where fans will be able to enjoy this uniquely talented performer and his special guests,” says Lynne Wylie, Chief Marketing Officer of Ster-Kinekor.
Cinema audiences are invited to journey to the Teatro del Silenzio (Theatre of Silence), Lajatico, where once-in-a-lifetime performances showcase the Maestro’s extensive and beloved repertoire, alongside captivating duets with an unprecedented cast of global superstars, including Ed Sheeran, Shania Twain, Will Smith, Jon Batiste, Sofia Carson, Lang Lang, Nadine Sierra and more. With extraordinary staging, production, and visuals, set against a landscape of unparalleled beauty amongst the Tuscan hills, Andrea Bocelli’s sensational career comes to life in a truly unforgettable big screen concert experience.
Directed by Grammy-nominee and Emmy Award-winner Sam Wrench (Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Billie Eilish: Live at the O2), this is a celebration of an international icon and revered classical voice, with a grandeur and scale that reaches new heights.
