Andrea Bocelli — Under the Desert Sky, Las Vegas, 2006

Filmed live concert by Andrea Bocelli, “Under the Desert Sky,” recorded in 2006 on a specially built floating stage at Lake Las Vegas Resort, near Las Vegas (Nevada, USA), and captured for the American public broadcaster PBS. The Italian tenor, a global star of the crossover between classical and popular music, unfolds a programme largely drawn from his album Amore: arias, Latin standards and timeless ballads (The Prayer, Can’t Help Falling in Love, Besame Mucho, Les Feuilles Mortes). The concert gathers prestigious guests documented on the release — Heather Headley, trumpeter Chris Botti, Katharine McPhee and Stevie Wonder. A nocturnal setting, orchestra and polished staging make this capture a live of great elegance for a wide audience. A full concert / concierto en directo to enjoy for lovers of the classical voice, operatic crossover and spectacular captures. An ideal live for rediscovering Andrea Bocelli in the mid-2000s. Among the best-selling classical artists in the world, Andrea Bocelli blends lyrical rigour and mass emotion here. The lake’s nocturnal setting and the polished capture make it a live to savour in full.
