Andrea Bocelli to perform at shrine of Lourdes
OperaMessage received:
One of the most sacred and visited places in the world for over 160 years, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes will welcome tenor Andrea Bocelli for the first time, on July 16th, 2023 (Sunday). With a sacred repertoire, the performance will be dedicated to families and pilgrims who visit the Sanctuary on that day.
“Our Lady of Lourdes is the saint of miraculous cures and intercedes for those who suffer from sickness of body and soul. In such a difficult moment for all the humanity, it was natural to think of the patroness of the sick to honor the memory of the victims of the COVID-19 pandemic through prayer for music”, says Pedro Bianco, president of Dançar Marketing, a Brazilian entertainment company, creator and responsible for the general coordination of the project.
Entitled “Prayers for Life”, the concert is part of a cycle of performances at Marian Shrines around the world, offered free of charge to pilgrims. Andrea Bocelli, an artist of great faith, has been participating in these celebrations since 2016 and carries with him the quote from Saint Augustine when he states that “The one who sings prays twice”.
