  "account": "The Hollywood Bowl hosted a sold-out performance by Andrea Bocelli on Tuesday, September 15, featuring a large orchestra, a cast of singers and dancers, and several guest stars. The show, which marked the 30th anniversary of Bocelli's debut album Romanza, had its fair share of issues, including a video opener that seemed more like a commercial than a introduction to the performance. Bocelli, who rarely spoke to the audience due to his \"terrible English,\" was absent from most of the show, creating a distance between him and the audience. However, the talented singers and dancers who supported Bocelli were given proper credit at the end of the show, with their names listed on the screen as if they were the stars of the production. Bocelli did mention the conductor Steven Mercurio and several guest stars, including Jennifer Hudson, Diane Warren, and David Foster. The tour, produced by AEG Presents, celebrated the anniversary of Romanza, one of the best-selling contemporary classical albums of all time.",
  "summary": "Bocelli’s tour is celebrating the upcoming 30th anniversary of Romanza , the 1997 compilation that kick-started his career.",
