Andrea Bocelli fills the Olympic Stadium with a night of classic music

[Dolores]

On Saturday, 24 February 2024 in the evening, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli performed before an almost full stadium of Dominicans signing his ballads and tunes. Bocelli sings in Spanish and Italian.

Bocelli accomplished the feat that merengue, salsa and urban music performances had done before.

I was there on Saturday. It was a once in a lifetime experience for me. So grateful to have been there. I took no photos or videos during the show. Did not want to be consumed by electronics when the real thing was right in front of me.

Normally we’d be in DR now, but I’m still recuperating from the hip replacement and no travel approval. I’d have been there! I checked his concert schedule, and his closest to me venue is a 7 hour drive. ☹️

I'm not one to preach but.... A friend of mine that lived in the DR went to the states for shoulder surgery. The surgeon told him under no circumstances should he get on a plane back to the DR for a certain length of time,not sure how long he told him not to fly. Anyway,he texted me and told me that he was going to disregard the doctor's orders and fly back to Puerto Plata which he did,he dropped dead the next day. It has to do with blood clotting.
