Famous Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli is coming to the capital. The classical music crossover star will be performing on April 22 at the du Arena, where he will kick off his new world tour.

Having last performed in the capital in 2013, the performance in April will feature a rendition of classic film soundtracks and scores from his latest album Cinema. The album, which reached number three in the Official UK album chart, features songs from films such as Doctor Zhivago, Love Story, The Godfather, Life is Beautiful, Gladiator and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As well as duets with pop stars Ariana Grande (E Piu Ti Penso) and Nicole Scherzinger (Don’t Cry for Me Argentina).

Speaking about his latest work Bocelli said, “I’m fulfilling a wish that I’ve harbored for decades. I’ve never made a secret of my dream of bringing to life a recording project associated with soundtracks, as I truly believe that it’s an exceptional artistic treasure trove.”

The du Arena concert will be set up as an open-air concert hall that will be full seated, for a more intimate experience. Pre-sale tickets will be on sale from Monday, February 29 with tickets going on sale to the general public on Wednesday March 2. Prices for the show start from Dhs395 to Dhs1,250.
