Matteo Bocelli will perform in Istanbul on June 17 at Harbiye Cemil Topuzlu Open-Air Theatre as part of his "Summer Nights" world tour.
The 27-year-old artist, son of legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli, is expected to deliver a mix of romantic songs and modern pop melodies starting at 9 p.m.
Bocelli, who combines classical training with contemporary music, will be joined in Istanbul by his partner, fashion designer Kate Barton.
Ahead of his Istanbul show, one of Bocelli’s backstage demands attracted public interest. The singer specifically requested Manuka honey to be brought from London.
Produced in New Zealand, Manuka honey is known for its antibacterial properties and is considered a premium product. Its price can reach up to $600 per jar.
Other requests include:
His food preferences remain simple: white rice, parmesan cheese, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Tickets for the Istanbul performance are available on Biletix, Passo, Biletinial, and Bubilet. The concert is expected to attract a wide audience, including both classical music lovers and fans of modern pop.
His Istanbul concert will be one of the key cultural events in Istanbul this June.
Matteo Bocelli is a 27-year-old Italian singer, songwriter, and musician. He is the son of Andrea Bocelli, one of the most famous tenors in the world.
Born in 1997, Matteo grew up in Forte dei Marmi, a seaside town in Tuscany, where he began piano lessons at the age of 6. Although he was shy about singing in front of his father, he eventually asked for guidance and began training seriously.
He holds a degree in piano from the Institute of Musical Studies "Luigi Boccherini" in Lucca. He also completed both a bachelor's and a master's degree in engineering at the University of Pisa, following his father's request that he finish his education before choosing a music career.
Matteo gained international attention in 2018 with "Fall on Me", a duet with his father that was featured in Disney’s "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms". Since then, he has performed on major stages, including the Royal Variety Performance, and released his own music.
His solo album "Matteo" includes songs in both English and Italian and blends classical elements with contemporary pop. While his vocal style reflects some influence from his father, it also carries a softer tone and emotional nuance that appeals to modern audiences.
