Andrea Bocelli is widely regarded as the most popular Italian tenor in the world, with more than 70 million albums sold. 'Concerto: One Night In Central Park' presents a varied repertoire including his best known and loved songs that have become fan favorites.
Pre-show, Bocelli commented: "I cannot help but smile when thinking about the upcoming concert in Central Park.
