Mark your answers on the Answer Sheet.
Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli was born in Tuscany, Italy, in 1958, with a visual defect. After a soccer accident at age twelve, he lost his sight completely. Bocelli insists that blindness was no tragedy for him. In the May 19th, 1997 edition of the British newspaper The Independent, Bocelli is quoted as saying, "The tragedy is that people continue to make a fuss out of something which they consider tragic, not I." About his blindness, he says, "Everyone has problems to overcome. The important thing is to overcome them and not to create more of them for yourself."
Certainly, his blindness has not adversely affected his career. Educated as a lawyer, but with an unmistakable talent in music, Andrea Bocelli is in the unique position of being adored by fans of both pop music and classical opera. He has taken master classes with the famous Italian tenor, Luciano Pavarotti, and has sung for the Pope.
Long popular in his home country of Italy, he became a hit with the British In 1996, after recording "Time to Say Goodbye" with the famous British singer Sarah Brightman. This song was originally recorded as a solo by Bocelli. Brightman apparently heard it while dining out, was enchanted by it and tracked down Bocelli.
The two of them recorded it as a duet with the London Symphony Orchestra. Brightman and Bocelli performed the song in Germany at the retirement fight of light-heavyweight champion Henry Maske. The crowd responded enthusiastically. Maske was moved to tears. "Time to Say Goodbye" became the biggest selling single of all time in Germany, with sales of nearly three million copies.
Both his classical and pop music became popular in North America after a PBS special featured Bocelli performing both kinds of music.
