“In Johannesburg, he will perform with the Johannesburg Festival Orchestra and the Symphony Choir of Johannesburg and in Cape Town, with the Cape Town Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir,” Big Concerts said in a statement.

The concert will be split into two parts. For the first part, Bocelli will perform some of the most famous opera arias, while the second part will be dedicated to his most popular hits and crossover songs for a once-in-a-lifetime evening.
