Andrea Bocelli joins ISO for Indy performance

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli is returning to the city for a special performance with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra as part of his North American spring tour. Bocelli is joining the ISO for a concert at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on April 13. The singer made his ISO debut in December of 2022 with a variety of holiday music. The concert was so successful that he arranged his schedule to return to Indianapolis just 16 months later, said James Johnson, CEO of the ISO. “It’s always a very special occasion, performing artists of his caliber — someone who has deservedly gained worldwide renown for his amazing voice and his great interpretations of both popular music and, and classical arias,” Johnson said. “And, you know, we’re glad to be considered among his favorite cities to perform in and he’s coming back so soon to play with the ISO in Indianapolis, and we hope this is a continuation of a lot more relationship.” The upcoming concert will feature several of Bocelli’s hits throughout his long career, including songs from his solo album “Believe,” operatic performances and popular programs, Johnson said.
