Tenor Bocelli hits the right note in Kilkenny

KILKENNY’S Nowlan Park has traditionally been a hotbed for pulsating, breathtaking and captivating performances but Andrea Bocelli’s awesome live show against the backdrop of a clear blue sky last night was an experience to remember.

Scores flickered in the winds and the orchestra were illuminated by the dipping summer sun as the live performance began.

The towering tenor smiled as he acknowledged the rousing reception from the near capacity audience before launching into moving numbers from Ponchielli and Bizet as well as Verdi, one of his favourite composers.
