Music lovers in Cockermouth will get the chance to celebrate world-renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli's 30-year career later this month.
Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration, which was filmed over three days in a natural amphitheatre, the Teatro del Silenzio (Theatre of Silence), in the singer’s hometown of Lajatico, Tuscany, will be shown at the Kirkgate Centre.
The film captures Andrea in concert and in captivating duets with a cast of global superstars, including Ed Sheeran, Shania Twain, Will Smith, Jon Batiste, Sofia Carson, Lang Lang, Nadine Sierra, and others.
A spokesperson for the Kirkgate Centre said: "With extraordinary staging, production, and visuals, set against a landscape of unparalleled beauty amongst the Tuscan hills, Andrea Bocelli’s sensational career comes to life in a truly unforgettable experience.
"Directed by Grammy-nominee and Emmy Award-winner Sam Wrench, this is a celebration of an international icon and revered classical voice, with a grandeur and scale that reaches new heights."
