“On the day in which we celebrate the trust in a life that triumphs, I’m honored and happy to answer ‘Sì’ to the invitation of the City and the Duomo of Milan. I believe in the strength of praying together; I believe in the Christian Easter, a universal symbol of rebirth that everyone – whether they are believers or not – truly needs right now. Thanks to music, streamed live, bringing together millions of clasped hands everywhere in the world, we will hug this wounded Earth’s pulsing heart, this wonderful international forge that is reason for Italian pride. The generous, courageous, proactive Milan and the whole of Italy will be again, and very soon, a winning model, engine of a renaissance that we all hope for. It will be a joy to witness it, in the Duomo, during the Easter celebration which evokes the mystery of birth and rebirth” Andrea Bocelli

    Re-live the incredible moment Andrea performs live, by invitation, at the Duomo di Milano, representing a message of love, healing and hope to Italy and the world.

    18:11 This moment... Watching a blind man walk down the aisle of the Milan Cathedral without assistance to sing a beautiful rendition of a song featuring the words “was blind, but now I see.” This is what YouTube is for. Thank you, Andrea Bocelli.

    Happy Easter 2024! May this year bring peace and love and human unity . We all must come together for world peace
  • April 12th 2020, I was lying in bed with coronavirus. Scared, lonely, and completely unsure what was going to happen. This man's voice in that moment brought me to tears. It's something I will never forget. Mille Grazie Messere Bocelli.

    There's something surreal and haunting to watch a legend sing standing by a lone piano. Decades later when a movie is made on COVID-19 this is how that movie should start.
  • Andrea Bocelli singing "Ave Maria" and "Amazing Grace" for an empty Duomo! One of those rare moments that will be recorded forever in human history.
  • Magnificent!! Milano e magnificent! Andrea e magnificent! Italia e magnificent!! Mille grazie!! Praise to our dear Lord for your gift to all of dear Andrea, with his beautiful voice and heart!❤️💕🌺💒

    From Korea, I'm sending my pray to all Italian and the world.
  • Listening to the lone figure of Andrea Bocelli singing Amazing Grace in front of the magnificent cathedral in Milan as we viewed scenes of the empty cities of our world was at once heartbreaking and comforting. Truly a blessed Easter performance for all of us.
  • I just recalled watching this concert two years ago with my wife. I'm pretty sure that there is another comment by me thanking Bocelli for doing this for the world. Seven days after this concert my wife died suddenly - not from Covid. This was the last concert we watched and listened to together. We were both scared for the world that day. I miss her terribly but I'm glad she heard this man's voice again that day. Like most of us, she loved his singing so very much. Gracias Andrea!

    The streets of the world may be empty, but listening to Andrea Bocelli, our hearts are full of hope and love for each other.
  • A man stands in some of the worlds most extraordinarily beautiful surroundings, which he will never see, and fills the chamber with his most wonderful voice and music.
  • Andrea as a blind man sees much more than some people with healthy eyes and I hope that he opened ours too. Wonderful concert.

    I am South Korean, this is my first time to leave comment on youtube even with not good english. As I am catholic, I couldn't attend the mass for Easter in local church due to virus, but while watching this video and seeing lots of comments, I felt like being in Duomo church with all world people. I think this tough situation is heading the end, believe this will go away in near the future. Like other people watching this video, I pray all of world people suffering from virus have courage to overcome this situation. We can do it!
  • No country can do it alone in this crisis. No country should do it alone. We must help and support each other. God bless you all.
  • Mr. Bocelli, my name is tab. I'm one of your biggest fans. I love your music. I never liked classical music until I started listening to you, Charlotte church, and josh groban. I'm in a choir and I never realized the beauty and truth behind a Lot of the songs. I have almost all your CDs but know with my phone I now have all of them. Your voice is incredible. My favorite songs are the prayer, fall on me the gorgious song that you sing with your son. He loves you dearly. I can tell. Give him a hug from me. His voice is breathtaking.
  • @marshaberger589
    His generosity is selfless. He did this concert with no remuneration; it was voluntary. How giving and caring is that. It is what he is about. He is hallowed. I dearly love this man and those he loves!
