Andrea Bocelli Performs with 10-Year-Old Daughter on GOOD MORNING AMERICA
By Movieguide® Contributor
Singer Andrea Bocelli and his daughter Virginia celebrated the Christmas season on GOOD MORNING AMERICA with a performance of the holiday classic “Let it Snow.”
“For their performance, Andrea, 65, wore a white suit as he sat at the piano and Virginia, 10, wore a festive red dress as she showed off her impressive vocals. The duo performed on a festive set with twinkling lights and Christmas trees,” PEOPLE reported.
Last month, the father-daughter duo, along with Bocelli’s 25-year-old son Mateo, released a holiday album titled “A Family Christmas,” featuring many classic Christmas songs.
“We really wanted to make an album that truly reflected us, to recreate a mood, that magical state of mind that Holy Christmas is able to instill in us,” Bochelli said. “I hope that the serenity and joy that constantly marked each moment of our work together comes through in every note sung.”
Good Morning America also posted a special moment the father and daughter shared backstage.
Bocelli presented Virginia with her first gold record.
“’A Family Christmas’ was the best-selling new Christmas album of 2022 and also Virginia’s first album and first gold record,” GMA said.
“My dad taught me how to use my voice, and that influenced my life,” Virginia said. “And Matteo told me, ‘You should sing and do everything with no regret.’”
The Good Morning America event comes shortly after Bocelli canceled his performance in Philadelphia last week due to illness.
“A way to say ‘thank you’, ‘we’re sorry,’ and ‘we gave it our all.’… When the doctors told me the other evening that it could be dangerous to my health for me to sing, we wanted to say in music: thank you, sorry, see you very soon. We did it by bringing some special guests to the stage, including little Virginia, with me playing the piano,” he posted.
