World famous opera singer Andrea Bocelli is to hold an open air concert in Florianopolis.
Holidaymakers eager for some festive sunshine now have another reason to visit the southern Brazilian city in the state of Santa Catarina.
The performance, which will take place on December 28th 2009, will feature a 60-man choir and a grand orchestra to back up Bocelli's unique vocals.
Jose Augusto Gayoso, the communications director of Santa Catarina, said it had been an old dream to bring the Italian singer to the state.
The opera singer made his debut on the operatic stage playing Macduff in an adaptation of Verdi's Macbeth which toured the Italian cities of Livorno, Pisa and Mantova Lucca.
Bocelli, who was blinded as a child due to suffering from congenital glaucoma, has performed with the likes of Luciano Pavarotti and Celine Dion, and has sung for the Pope.
Perhaps his best-known song is Con te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye), which he recorded as a duet with Sarah Brightman.
