- Description
- Description
- With the Manhattan skyline, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty as breathtaking backdrops, international tenor sensation Andrea Bocelli fulfills a personal dream with a spectacular outdoor concert taped under the stars at New Jersey's Liberty State Park. Before an audience of 12,000 fans, Bocelli honors his Italian heritage and musical tradition and pays tribute to the immigrant experience in an enchanting evening of song and celebration. It was the long abiding wish of Bocelli's father to see him perform at the Statue of Liberty. Bocelli performs famous arias, Neapolitan songs and popular favorites. He is joined by soprano Ana Maria Martinez in a duet. Also a special surprise guest is Sarah Brightman. In the stirring finale, Bocelli dedicates his emotional performance of Sogno ("Dream") to his late father. The singers are accompanied by The New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, conducted alternately by Zdenek Macal, the orchestra's music director, and Steven Mercurio.
