For the third year running Andrea Bocelli will be returning to the U.S. for a special concert tour in December 2011. The tour kicks off Thursday December 1st in Columbus, OH and continues onto Washington DC and Tampa FL, all communities that have waiting for Andrea Bocelli's return to their cities for nearly a decade. The tour finishes with performances in Las Vegas NV and Anaheim CA, two cities that have become long traditions in the success of Andrea Bocelli’s unmatched live performances. Last year’s tour was praised "giving audiences the spirit and love only [Andrea Bocelli] can bring," and this year’s tour promises to do just the same. The concert will feature his vast platinum-selling catalogue, covering both traditional classics and his world-famous romantic crossover repertoire.

With over 65 million record sales, Bocelli also earned a place in the Guiness Book of World Records by occupying the first, second and third place in the American classical music charts. Celine Dion famously commented on Bocelli’s talent saying, "if God would have a singing voice, He would sound a lot like Andrea Bocelli." Bocelli’s name is also frequently found heading the list of artists appearing at concerts to support causes such as aid for the earthquake victims of the Abruzzo, alongside stars such as Angela Gheorghiu and in evocative venues like the Colosseum in Rome.

Andrea Bocelli continually receives rave reviews throughout his sold-out U.S. tours as an artist showing confidence and mastery in both classical and pop worlds. "His tone was smooth and brimmed with emotion…he owned Madison Square Garden," celebrated the New York Post. The Sun Sentinel concurred stating, "Bocelli’s singing moves people…He brought suave phrasing and affecting emotion to an arrangement of Italian songs." The Hollywood Reporter rejoiced, "It was a triumphant appearance."

Joining Andrea Bocelli on tour is conductor Eugene Kohn as well as world-renowned soprano Ana Maria Martinez, and special guest, Tony Award®-winner Heather Headley. With one of the most recognizable voices in music, Andrea Bocelli is a global icon who continues to defy categorization bringing his music to millions world-wide.
