Andrea Bocelli, the world’s most beloved Italian tenor and biggest-selling solo artist in the history of classical music, will be performing five huge shows across the UK and Ireland in 2012.

This massively anticipated run of dates will kick off in Dublin on November 6th before heading to Belfast, Birmingham, Liverpool and finally to London on November 14th.

Bocelli, who has sold more than 70 million albums over the course of an illustrious 20-year career, will be performing a selection of music including songs featured on his recent critically acclaimed live album Concerto: One Night In Central Park. The album captures a magical evening of music spanning the best of Bocelli’s pop and classical repertoire and includes guest appearances from Tony Bennett, David Foster, Bryn Terfel and Chris Botti.
