I don’t listen very much to classical music but when I heard that Andrea Bocelli, the blind, self-taught opera singer from Italy, was planning an event in Reykjavik, I knew I had to go.  The evening was not much less than magical, apart from the soprano Andrea brought with him.  He would have gotten a much better voice and tons more feeling on stage if he’d chosen to sing with Diddú, the most famous Icelandic soprano.

Anyway, there were quite a few tears shed throughout the evening.  A few songs worth mentioning were “Nessun Dorma”, “E lucevan le stelle” from Tosca and of course “Time to say goodbye”

My rating: 4 out of 5.  The only disadvantage was the arena the event was held in. It’s not good for concerts like this.
