The inspirational musical documentary series about the beloved Italian tenor will be available for all media worldwide.
Marenzi & Associates today announced it will be heading to Miptv with The Journey: Andrea Bocelli (1 x 90’ and 3 x 60’), an inspirational musical documentary series following the beloved Italian tenor on a fascinating spiritual pilgrimage across Italy.
Showcasing world-class musical performances and intimate conversations, The Journey: Andrea Bocelli explores the moments that define us, the songs that inspire us, and the music that unites us. Throughout the series, Bocelli journeys over 200 miles on horseback along Italy’s historic Via Francigena, an ancient road traveled by pilgrims for centuries, embracing the people, history and culture. Featuring top recording musical guests including Grammy Award winning artists Tori Kelly, Michael W. Smith, as well as 2CELLOS, Matteo Bocelli, Katherine Jenkins, 40 Fingers, TAYA, with a special appearance from Pope Francis, among others.
“The Journey realizes a dream that I have been cultivating for years: a pilgrimage on horseback and a testimony of returning to essential needs and values,” shared Executive Producer Andrea Bocelli. “I will carry this adventure in my heart forever along the Via Francigena, from the tomb of St. Peter to my hometown, a journey through places full of sacredness, marked by extraordinary encounters.”
“One of the shining moments in The Journey is the finale performance of Amazing Grace. Andrea Bocelli, Tori Kelly, Katherine Jenkins, all the incredible talent unite in a song that’s become an anthem in trying times. Andrea has said, true faith, sees beyond what our five senses, perceive. His life, and this journey, exemplifies that,” said Producer Tom Newman.
“The Journey takes viewers on a lush pilgrimage to discover life’s greatest joys,” commented Gary Marenzi. “In a world beset by pandemic, war and uncertainty it is a reaffirmation to audiences throughout the world that peace, beauty, nature and art are what makes life worthwhile.”
Executive produced by Andrea Bocelli and Veronica Bocelli, The Journey: Andrea Bocelli is produced by Trinity Broadcasting Network and Impact Productions. Co-directed by Gaetano Morbioli (Roby Facchinetti: Ma Che Vita la Mia) and Paolo Sodi (Civita de Bagnoregia).
As one of the most recognizable voices in the industry, and revered by fans internationally, world-renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli has been entertaining audiences for over 20 years, counting nearly 90 million records sold worldwide.
