Andrea Bocelli: Under the Desert Sky

Performed on a specially constructed floating stage in Lake Las Vegas, a resort community 20 miles south of Las Vegas, this historic performance captures Andrea Bocelli's first ever pop concert. Under the Desert Sky, which co-stars Tony Award winner Heather Headley (Elton John's Aida), represents a new era for the Tuscan-born singer. Spanish guitars flourish, traditional Latin percussion seductively keeps the tempo, and accordions and harmonicas provide haunting ambience. Highlights include "Somos Novios"---Perry Como had a hit with it as "It's Impossible"---and "The Prayer," a duet with Heather Headley, David Foster. Capping the program is a new song, "Because We Believe" by David Foster with lyrics by Andrea Bocelli and Amy Foster Gillies, a tune written for and introduced at the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics.
