Delta Goodrem Announced As Special Guest On Andrea Bocelli's First-ever U.s. Holiday Concerts25.11.09
Delta Goodrem will be joining renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli as the special guest on his U.S. winter tour kicking off in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida on November 28th. Goodrem is set to perform three songs with Bocelli as part of the concert.
Commenting on the US announcement, Goodrem said; "I am deeply honoured to be joining Andrea for his U.S. concert dates. He is an incredible artist and live performer. It will be a privilege to share the stage with Andrea and be a part of what will be a spectacular night of music for his American fans."
Goodrem will cut short her current songwriting sessions for her new album to depart for the U.S. this week in preparation for the first concert date in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday November 28th. She will not be performing at the scheduled New Jersey or Fresno dates in the US and will be returning to Australia on Sunday December 6th to perform for her own Sydney Opera House Christmas & Hits concert. "I have a commitment to my Australian supporters to celebrate Christmas in song here in Australia. This opportunity cements a treasured time for me during the holiday season. The US dates are a part of my on going American journey and it's a real pleasure to be able to perform live in both countries." said Delta. Bocelli's concert dates will celebrate much of the repertoire the classical crossover singer has made world-famous over his incredible career as well as music from his upcoming release My Christmas, giving his fans a wonderful welcoming to the holidays. Bocelli and Grammy Award-winning producer David Foster also recently taped a joint Public Television Christmas concert-special in Los Angeles, which will air as part of the PBS Great Performances series beginning late November. In addition to the TV special, Andrea's stateside promotional activities around the release of My Christmas will also include high-profile TV appearances alongside the live concert dates, all culminating in the most heart-warming musical experience of the year. Bocelli received rave reviews throughout his U.S. tour last Summer as an artist showing confidence and mastery in both classical and pop worlds. 'His tone was smooth and brimmed with emotion - he owned Madison Square Garden', celebrated the New York Post, and the Hollywood Reporter rejoiced, "[Bocelli] brings a passion and joy to such familiar [classical] pieces" proclaiming, "It was a triumphant appearance."
