Having perfected his singing skills under the guidance of his mentor, Franco Corelli, Andrea has been recognised around the world as an icon of the greatest Italian vocal tradition, selling over 90 million records.
His rise to stardom began when he won the Sanremo Music Festival in 1994. At the same time, he started his dazzling classical career, performing masterpieces from the opera repertoire on stage – conducted by Lorin Maazel, Seiji Ozawa and Zubin Mehta.
The maestro, who sees his concerts attended by huge crowds across the globe, has broken every record in the industry, garnering countless accolades along the way.
Some of these accolades include a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, six Grammy and Latin Grammy Award nominations, Grande Ufficiale Italian Order of Merit and an Ambassador of the Italian Republic of San Marino title.
Beyond this, he has performed for four American Presidents, three Popes, the British Royal Family, many prime ministers and also at the ceremonies of the Olympic Games, the Universal Expo in Shanghai and Milan, as well as the inauguration of Expo Dubai.
