Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli grew up in Lajatico, a rural village in Tuscany, where his family still farms nearby. In July 2007, on the slopes of his ancient hill town, a special theater was constructed for a one-night-only concert of his greatest popular hits along with new songs performed to honor the occasion. Some famous musical friends dropped by and the magical result is Andrea Bocelli - Vivere - Live in Tuscany, premiering this December on PBS.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Teatro del Silenzio was designed to host only one annual performance, remaining silent the rest of the year.
Bocelli's insistence on performing in his tiny village of 1,400 people put Lajatico on the map, boosting regional tourism by 40%.
