Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli grew up in Lajatico, a rural village in Tuscany, where his family still farms nearby. On the slopes of this ancient hill town, a special theater was constructed for a one-night-only concert of his greatest popular hits along with new songs performed to honor the occasion.

Some famous musical friends dropped by and the magical result is "Vivere: Andrea Bocelli Live In Tuscany."

Joining Bocelli for the new songs are “grandissimo sassofonista” Kenny G., trumpeter Chris Botti, piano virtuoso Lang Lang, Italian pop star Eliza, and legendary musician, songwriter, and producer David Foster. Helping with the hits are favorite divas Sarah Brightman, Heather Headley and Laura Pausini.
