Bocelli added: “Our Christian Easter, with its message of love and redemption, seemed to me like the perfect time to take a moment to stop and reflect upon things, as well as offering a moment of hope.”
The singer was invited by the City of Milan and the cathedral to give “an uplifting message of love, healing and hope through music.”
His solo performance saw him sing Panis Angelico’s, Ave Maria, Sancta Maria and Domine Deus before ending with Amazing Grace on the steps of the cathedral.
Inside the Duomo, Bocelli was accompanied by cathedral organist Emanuele Vianelli.
