Twain and Bocelli duet in Tuscany, performing “From This Moment On” in Italian.
Country music icon Shania Twain teamed up with classical music legend Andrea Bocelli for a unique duet at Bocelli’s three-day concert series in Tuscany.
On Friday, July 19, the two stars performed together on the final night of Bocelli’s event, held at the Teatro del Silenzio in his hometown of Lajatico, Italy. They delighted the audience with an Italian rendition of Twain’s 1998 hit “From This Moment On,” retitled “Da Stanotte in Poi.”
The duet was part of Bocelli’s concert series, “Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration,” which marked his 30-year career in the music industry. The event featured a star-studded lineup of guests and performances.
Twain and Bocelli’s collaboration was a highlight, showcasing a blend of country and classical music that captivated the audience.
The collaboration between Twain, 58, and Bocelli, 65, was first announced last week. The pair recorded the classical version of “From This Moment On,” and it was released as the first single from Bocelli’s upcoming Duets album.
This album will feature a collection of high-profile artists performing alongside the renowned Italian tenor.
A video from the concert captures the magical moment when Bocelli began the performance with a verse in Italian. Twain then joined him for the chorus, singing in English. Their powerful voices, accompanied by a full orchestra, created an operatic and emotional rendition of the beloved ballad.
Twain’s appearance was part of the final night of the concert series, which included performances by other notable artists such as Jon Batiste, Russell Crowe, Brian May, Johnny Depp, David Foster, Zucchero, Plácido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Lang Lang, Nadine Sierra, Elisa, Laura Pausini, and Eros Ramazzotti. Each night of the event featured different guest performers, making each performance unique and memorable.
Bocelli’s upcoming Duets album promises to be a remarkable collection, featuring collaborations with various artists, including Twain, Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony, Karol G, Sofia Carson, Lauren Daigle, Hans Zimmer, and more.
The 32-track album also includes previously released duets with Ed Sheeran, Céline Dion, Sarah Brightman, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera, Ariana Grande, Virginia Bocelli, and Luciano Pavarotti.
In a statement about the Duets album, Bocelli expressed his passion for collaborating with other artists. “To mix voices, mix the vibrations, is for me a very exciting experience, sensual and spiritual at the same time,” he said.
“Something intimate and deep is established between the two voices that sing a duet. We singers are in constant search of colleagues able to give life to this alchemy.”
The concert series in Tuscany was not just a celebration of Bocelli’s illustrious career but also an opportunity for fans to witness these unique collaborations live.
For those who couldn’t attend the event in person, the performances were filmed for an upcoming concert film, “Andrea Bocelli 30: The Celebration,” directed by Sam Wrench.
The film is set to be released this fall, allowing fans around the world to experience the magic of these performances.
Twain’s collaboration with Bocelli showcases the versatility and timeless appeal of both artists. Their performance of “Da Stanotte in Poi” is a testament to the power of music to transcend genres and bring together diverse musical styles.
The duet has already garnered significant attention and praise, and it is expected to be one of the standout tracks on Bocelli’s Duets album.
As Twain and Bocelli continue to push the boundaries of their respective genres, their collaboration serves as an inspiration to artists and fans alike.
The success of their duet at the concert series in Tuscany is a testament to their enduring talent and ability to connect with audiences through the universal language of music.
The upcoming release of the Duets album and concert film will undoubtedly further solidify Bocelli’s legacy in the music industry and highlight the incredible contributions of the artists he has collaborated with, including Shania Twain.
