RECORDING INFORMATION
Aria — the Opera Album is Andrea Bocelli's first purely classical opera recording and is personally very important to him. This is the music he wants to share with people based on his earliest memories of growing up and appreciating music. The track selection reflects those that are important to Andrea. Some arias feature heroic characters from operas that he would like to perform live. Others express emotions that he identifies with. Thus, Andrea's performance on this album is as passionate as it is enjoyable.
