On September 15th, thousands crowded Central Park's Great Lawn despite ominous skies to listen to Andrea Bocelli perform. The concert will be shown on PBS' "Great Performances: Andrea Bocelli Live in Central Park" Friday, Dec. 2 (check local listings). It can also be purchased via DVD on Amazon.com.
Though opera would have to come in a distant favorite behind rock, country, hip-hop, pop and soul music in America, Bocelli's experience is that American audiences are receptive to classical music. Through the DVD of the concert, Bocelli wishes to send a message of serenity and a wish for a better future.
