Andrea Bocelli is making sure everyone’s Easter is music-filled despite the fact that many church-goers across the globe will be unable to attend services in-person due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Italian opera star will perform a solo concert, Andrea Bocelli: Music for Hope, this Easter Sunday from the Duomo cathedral in Milan, Italy, and it will be live-streamed on his YouTube channel. Since the Duomo in Milan has been closed amid the outbreak, Bocelli, 61, and cathedral organist Emanuele Vianelli will perform songs like “Ave Maria” and “Sancta Maria” to an empty venue.

Did anyone see the greatest living singer perform Amazing Grace on the steps?

While the video showed the completely empty streets of Milan, Paris, London and New York.

He captured the zeitgeist. And this performance will be remembered like the Beatles rooftop concert.

Quite touching.

That rendition of Amazing Grace was clearly heartfelt.

And will bring tears to the eyes of anyone who hears it, even more so with the images of the empty streets and squares of the great cities of the western world.

You can even hear his clear, powerful voice echoing off the granite of those majestic buildings surrounding the empty square.

I want to thank you so much for posting this.

I had no idea that Andrea was going to have this show.

I hate myself for missing it.

Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Warm regards, Maris

Amazing Grace was great.

My only complaint was that he only performed 4 songs. I suppose a full blown concert was too much to ask, but I’m thankful for what he delivered.
