I started as a lyrical singer. But it was through the pop universe that I reached international fame.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Opera is complex for those who perform it, but also for those who listen to it. It takes more time, more patience and more spirit of sacrifice. All this is well worth it because opera offers such deep sensations that they will remain in a heart for a lifetime.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
In essence, I set myself the objective of doing what I feel is right without having any ambition.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
My idol has been Franco Corelli. But every singer can teach you something.

Like stars across the sky, we were born to shine.
Andrea Bocelli

I am not only fighting against something, I am fighting for something - and I am for life.
Andrea Bocelli

To sing a duet together means sharing with someone both the pleasure and the responsibility of making music for an audience which is there to feel enjoyment through music.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Classical music and pop are two different universes, each with its own difficulties, peculiarities, depth and artistic dignity. In Italy, I think there is a fairly clear line of demarcation, but the history of music is full of fusion. Popular and classical music have always found points of contact, of crossing, exchange, both drawing mutual profit.

Every audience has its character I like America - they love me. I suffer from stage fright, but in America not so much.

Image
I also always carry my flute. It's very important for me to try to relax when I'm travelling, and playing my flute helps me to unwind.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
When I sing for myself, I sing in a more free, athletic way. When I face an audience, there is always some fear that makes me put the brakes on a bit.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
Even in the most beautiful music there are some silences, which are there so we can witness the importance of silence.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I think I don't want to use drugs or medicine, so nothing. The only way is to go on stage and to hope.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I'm quite shy, so I hate seeing my private life splashed over the papers.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I love eating shabu-shabu in Japan - a kind of beef hotpot. But if you're talking about authentic, traditional food, then Italian cooking is one of the best in the world.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
When the mood takes me, I like to be a man of action. I like to windsurf and ski, and most of all I love to ride horses. The wilder and faster the better!
Andrea Bocelli
Image
I've always known that I was born to sing, ever since I was a child.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
The most widely criticised singers in the history of opera, Maria Callas and Franco Corelli, happen also to be the best singers. I am honoured for being part of their group.
Andrea Bocelli
Image
It's always beautiful to sing with other great voices. I like voices in general. It's a big privilege to have great singers next to me.

For me, riding a two-wheeler bike was very risky. Counting the pedal strokes before turning a corner and learning to hear the sounds coming from buildings, grass and the climbing frame made all the difference to basic survival and ensured that I didn't end up head-first in the sandpit.
