Sofia is part of Andrea Bocelli's world anniversary tour

The performer of classical and pop music has already captivated the hearts of millions of people with his voice for three decades and inspired many artists with his life.

Andrea Bocelli has invited Italian and Romanian artists as special guests to his concert in the Bulgarian capital - the flutist Andrea Griminelli, the pop singer and composer Elisa Gaiotto, the opera singer Cristina Pasaroiu, the ballet dancer Francesco Costa. Marcello Rota, who led some of the most prestigious orchestras, will stand at the conductor's podium.

The singer was born in 1958 in Lajatico, Italy. He perfected his skills under the guidance of his mentor Franco Corelli. His star rose at the Italian festival San Remo in 1994, when he began to perform masterpieces from the opera repertoire. He has sold over 90 million copies of his albums worldwide.
