Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary 4K 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 two disc 4K release, a two 1080 disc Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary 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) 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 4K Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality 

Note: While this is a standalone 4K release without a 1080 disc, I am offering screenshots from Mercury Studios' standalone Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary 1080 release as I think it actually provides a better representation of the look of the palette in particular, rather than offering screenshots from the 4K disc which are by necessity downscaled to 1080 and in SDR. (Even 4K screenshots without HDR tend to look a little wonky to me, hence this choice.) Because this release does not include a 1080 disc, the 2K video score above has been intentionally left blank.

Andrea Bocelli The Celebration is presented in 4K UHD courtesy of Mercury Studios with an HEVC / H.265 2160p transfer in 2.39:1. It's kind of one step forward, one step back for this 4K release. On the plus side, the progressive presentation at least ameliorates if doesn't quite eliminate some of the almost comical stair stepping seen in Mercury's 1080 interlaced presentation, but once again Mercury is probably going to engender considerable head scratching amongst videophiles by offering a UHD presentation without HDR. That basically means you arguably get a bit of a detail uptick in this presentation, but some of the admittedly lush looking 1080 palette is basically the same here. Since this 4K release offers the same audio options as the 1080 release (i.e., no Atmos upgrade), the 1080 package may be perfectly acceptable to many.

Andrea Bocelli: The Celebration 30th Anniversary 4K 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 4K 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 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Mercury Studios seems to be really going the extra mile for Bocelli fans in terms of offering a number of different packaging/format options for this release, but my hunch is videophiles and audiophiles are going to be wondering why that extra effort didn't include HDR and/or a Dolby Atmos track. This is still a hugely engaging set of performances, and there's arguably a bit of an improvement in detail levels in this 4K version when stacked up against Mercury Studios' 1080 release. I'd personally just opt for the 1080 release, but with caveats noted, this 4K release comes Recommended.
