Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe

One of the world’s greatest singers, Andrea Bocelli has a voice that transcends genres and generations. Despite losing his sight at age 12, Bocelli has dedicated his life to music and, after years spent entertaining customers in piano bars, caught the attention of the legendary Luciano Pavarotti who heard Bocelli’s voice on a demo tape. Bocelli’s life changed dramatically with the worldwide smash hit “Time to Say Goodbye,” his astonishing duet with Sarah Brightman that catapulted him to superstardom with performances on the world’s most prestigious stages and with diverse singing partners such as Céline Dion, Jennifer Lopez and Dua Lipa. An official selection of the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe is an intimate portrait of the acclaimed Italian tenor with Bocelli telling his story in his own words for the first time.

With unprecedented access, director Cosima Spender followed Bocelli beyond the footlights to reveal an uncompromising artist and devoted family man with a fearless passion for living.

Through interviews, archival performance footage, and informal gatherings with family and friends, Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe celebrates the voice — and man — who continues to touch the hearts of millions of listeners around the world.
