Andrea Bocelli – Landmarks Live in Concert – A Great Performances
Special continues the new Landmarks arts strand on Friday, June 30 at 10
p.m. on PBS (Check local listings.) Landmarks Live in Concert special
features an artist or band performing at a legendary destination of
personal significance. The series is hosted by, Chad Smith, the drummer
for the Red Hot Chili Peppers who conducts one-on-one interviews with
the artists exploring their favorite locations around each Landmark.
In addition to his numerous international awards, Bocelli is both a
Grammy and Emmy nominated artist as well as one of the most successful
and best-selling singers in the history of classical-crossover music. In
this special performance from the spectacular Palazzo Vecchio in
Florence Italy, Bocelli is joined by world renowned conductor Zubin
Mehta, sopranos Carly Paoli and Maria Aleida, baritone Gianfranco
Montresor, and violinist David Garrett. Host Chad Smith takes an
up-close and personal tour of Bocelli’s villa in Tuscany as well as the
City of Florence . . .
As the sun finally sets on Florence, Smith’s day winds down with a visit
to the most famous landmark in Florence, the Duomo Cathedral
(construction began 1296 and took 150 years to complete). With longtime
Bocelli family friend Stefano Gabrielli as his night life guide to
Florence, Smith shows us a bit of Florence at night and finally ends the
day with “a dinner” at the famous Cammillo restaurant in the heart of
the city.
