Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman November 11, 2025

Andrea Bocelli's 30th anniversary in show business received a pretty luxe concert celebration that was in many ways a rather touching family affair, as evidenced by some of the "co-stars" offered on stage, but also evidently in terms of some of the backstage production efforts. Mercury Studios was reportedly part of the production package, and they're rather interestingly offering three separate packagings/formats for fans, this 2 disc 1080 Blu- ray release, a 2 disc Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary 4K release, and a deluxe Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary edition with two 1080 Blu-ray discs and two DVDs packaged with a photobook. The absolutely extravagant production was shot over several nights in July 2024 at the (outdoor) the Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, Italy, and the discs offer two compilations culled from the different performances. As can be seen in the track listings offered below, a rather, well, eclectic group of stars showed up to help Bocelli celebrate, and there's both some charming on stage interplay as well as interstitial candid footage showing more private partying.

The performances offered on each disc are as follows:

Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality 

Note: Screenshots 1 through 10 are from Disc One in this set. Screenshots 11 through 18 are from Disc Two.

Andrea Bocelli The Celebration is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of Mercury Studios with an AVC encoded 1080i transfer in 2.39:1. This was reportedly captured in native 4K, but Mercury, which can confound with its actual 4K releases (e.g., its 4K release of this set has no HDR), offers an interlaced presentation in 1080 which is littered with aliasing and combing artifacts. It actually becomes kind of funny after a while since the impressive stagecraft includes a huge LED lit sundial with even more LED lights surrounding a circular stage, and let's just say that many establishing shots of the set and/or shots where the camera moves suggest that the lights are (to quote a certain Dr. Frankenstein) aliiiiiive. That one bugaboo aside, this is a rather striking looking presentation that offers secure detail levels throughout. There's a cinematic sweep to the direction that offers really good coverage of both soloists and orchestral accompaniment, and some of the lighting regimens are incredibly evocative.

Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary Blu-ray Movie, Audio Quality 

Andrea Bocelli The Celebration offers really sumptuous sounding DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and LPCM 2.0 options. The surround track certainly offers a more lifelike accounting of the outdoor setting, with a more spacious all around ambience and generally quite effective engagement of the side and rear channels for both orchestral accompaniment as well as crowd noises and occasional ambient environmental effects. There are really no major audio problems considering the outdoor venue, and voices all sound fantastic.

Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Disc Two of this set offers the following bonus material:

Note: The bonus performances have been authored together for a total running time of 25:46. You can ostensibly "select" individual songs, but that simply starts what amounts to a playlist from whatever song you've chosen.


• Je Vieux Vivre (featuring Nadine Sierra) (HD)
• Invece No (featuring Laura Pisini & Tizanio Ferro) (HD)
• Bai Moreno (featuring Zucherro) (HD)
• L'Aurora (featuring Eros Ramazotti) (HD)
• Oro Nero (featuring Giorgia) (HD)

An insert booklet contains a glut of candid photos.

Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Since Mercury Studios' 4K UHD release doesn't offer HDR and has the same audio codecs as this 1080 release, my hunch is this format/resolution may suffice perfectly well for many, though this 1080i presentation is afflicted with some noticeable artifacts in some of the lighting in particular. Otherwise, technical merits are solid and the performances themselves often ravishing. With caveats noted, Recommended.
