Andrea Bochelli Melodrama Noti Rating: 3,8/5 2533 votes
Andrea Bocelli is in a category pretty much unto himself. Classical crossover is what Billboard magazine or a record retailer might say. He’s an operatic trained singer who delivers his versions of classical and romantic pop pieces. The Italian tenor’s current album, “Cinema,” features his takes on beloved songs from such movies as “West Side Story,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “Phantom of the Opera.” Thanks to several specials on PBS, he fills U.S. Arenas and has sold 80 million albums worldwide. In anticipation of his concert Thursday at Target Center in Minneapolis, Bocelli, 57, answered questions via e-mail, with his manager/wife, Veronica Berti, translating. Q: What is the most romantic language to sing in and why?
Lyrics to 'Melodramma' by Andrea Bocelli. 10 Songs You Didn't Know Were Covers; 8 Things You Didn't Know About Drake. 'Melodramma' is the lead single from Italian pop tenor Andrea Bocelli's 2001 album, Cieli di Toscana. The song was written by Pierpaolo Guerrini and Paolo Luciani, and is among Bocelli's most popular and well-known songs.
A: Mine is a biased answer because I love the language of my country, and I prefer it because it is the one that has raised me and of which I know the many nuances. I believe Italian possesses an inborn musicality, particularly suitable to express love. It is, anyway, the language around which 400 years ago was born melodrama. That said, I believe that every language guards a wonderful expressive potential and a musicality of its own. And it is also why I love singing in many different languages. Q: For your “Cinema” album, how did you decide which songs to sing in English and which in other languages? A: [It] is a fact that in film music, many among the greatest masterpieces ever, were conceived in English.
Anyway, as I said before, every language has extraordinary expressive potential. In my album “Cinema,” in fact, I sing in English, Italian, but I also sing in French, Spanish and in Sicilian dialect. A: If I am singing in a small 18th-century opera house or in a stadium, I always try to concentrate on a direct relationship — one by one — with each listener.
The opera theater, if well constructed, is the ideal instrument to reproduce voice. In fact, within architectural structures designed for opera, I strictly avoid the use of electronic amplification instruments. But an arena such as the Target Center allows me to reach an infinitely greater number of people.
My challenge is to concretely express my closeness, to thank personally through my singing, live, those that grant me the privilege to be part of the soundtrack of their lives. Q: What musical genre are you? A: My training is purely classical; my vocal studies are related to operatic production, although as you know, I tackle, with pleasure, at the same time, pop. I follow the two areas with the greatest honesty and quality possible.
Andrea Bocelli (born in 1958 in Lajatico, Tuscany, Italy) is an Italian tenor, multi-instrumentalist and classical crossover artist. 
Born with poor eyesight, he became blind at the age of twelve following a football accident. A disciple of Luciano Pavarotti and Zucchero Fornaciari, the blind, Tuscany-born, vocalist has emerged as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary opera. His participation in Pavarotti's 1992 hit, Miserere, and Fornaciari's 1993 world tour brought him international attention.

His participation in Pavarotti's 1992 hit, Miserere, and Fornaciari's 1993 world tour brought him international attention. Opera, however, represents only one side of his musical persona. Bocelli has been equally successful as a pop ballad singer, having recorded duets with Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman and Eros Ramazzotti. Al Jarreau, who sang with Bocelli during The Night of Proms in November 1995, praised Bocelli when he said, 'I have had the honour to sing with the most beautiful voice in the world.' Bocelli grew up on a farm in Lajatico, a rural village in Tuscany.
Beginning piano lessons at the age of six, he later added flute and saxophone. Despite his obvious musical talents, Bocelli didn't consider a career in music until he had studied law at the University of Pisa and had earned a Doctor Of Law degree. Inspired to pursue music, he studied with famed tenor Franco Corelli, supporting himself by performing in piano bars. Bocelli's first break as a singer came in 1992 when Fornaciari auditioned tenors to record a demo tape of Miserere, which he had co-written with Bono of U2. Successfully passing the audition, Bocelli recorded the tune as a duet with Pavarotti.
