"“On the day in which we celebrate the trust in a life that triumphs, I'm honoured and happy to answer 'Sì' to the invitation of the City and the Duomo of Milan, I believe in the strength of praying together; I believe in the Christian Easter, a universal symbol of rebirth that everyone — whether they are believers or not — truly needs right now" Andrea Boccelli

Andrea Bocelli will be performing on Easter Sunday at the beautiful Duomo in Milan live-streamed on YouTube. Because of the lockdown, Boccelli will be performing to an empty venue with only the cathedral's organist Emanuele Vianelli. Spiritual songs like Ave Maria will be sung. The "Music for hope" is scheduled to begin at 1800 UK time. To view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huTUOek4LgU 

Giuseppe Sala, Milan's mayor, said in a statement: “This year, Easter will be very different for all of us. The joyous serenity that usually comes with this day, has been greatly troubled by the pandemic we are experiencing. I am sure that the extraordinary voice of Bocelli will be the embrace we are missing these days, a strong, special hug, capable of warming the heart of Milan, Italy and the world.”

Wishing you all a Happy Easter.
